Schools can drop students through the 10th day of class with no academic penalty for the student and allotment deductions for the schools.  That 10th day for summer school is Friday, June 22nd.

We have a new process to withdraw students after the 10th day of class.  E-learning advisors may now withdraw students in the registration system after the tenth day of class in the registration system.  It's the same process as dropping students before Day 10.  

After Day 10, though, removing students will be coded as a withdrawal, and the enrollment will still count in the district's allotment totals.  We will issue a "W" grade for the student. Drops prior to Day 10 do not count in a district's enrollment totals.  Click here for more details.    

Enter "North Carolina Virtual Pub Sch" as the school name in the High School Name field listed under the List of NCAA Courses tab to see our approved courses. NCVPS will come up as located in Raleigh.  You will be able to see the approved and disapproved courses we have submitted.  

We are up to date with our submissions as it matches our course catalog.  

NCVPS will post the first progress report in the registration system on Wednesday, June 27.  This is an unweighted progress report grade.

This link shows how to access grade reports.    

Here are the fields on the report:

Progress Grade:  numeric grade for all traditional courses (not credit recovery)

Comment:  for all courses

Number of Modules:  for all credit recovery courses

Status:  for all credit recovery courses   

Please remember to arrange for your EOC and VOCATS testing for students enrolled in those courses.  

Your rosters will be finalized after Friday, June 22, which is our Day 10. 

NCVPS teachers need the modifications for your students with IEPs.   Please remember that modifications are a shared responsibility between the school and NCVPS.  Our teachers will meet the modifications that they can, but some may have to be met by the school or district.  Your EC specialists should be involved in the process. 

This link details our IEP/504 modification process:  http://www.ncvps.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IEP1.pdf

Student Password Issues

Passwords will not work until the first day of our Meet the Teacher program. That date is June 7. Please remember that students will not gain access to their courses for up to one business day after their enrollment.

If the student's password does not work on the first day of Meet the Teacher, go through the following steps:

1) Confirm that the student is enrolled and not waitlisted.

2) If the student is recently enrolled, remember that passwords will not work for 24 hours.

3) If the student is confirmed enrolled and it has been at least 24 hours since enrollment, then have the student submit an online ticket with our Help Center here: http://www.help.ncvps.org/   Click on "Open a New Ticket." The student or the E-learning Advisor can submit this ticket. Be sure to include the student's name, Wise number, and course that the student can't access.

4) If a student's password stops working anytime during the semester, have the student submit an online ticket with the Help Center.
