Admissions Policies

 

 

Registration

All students must be enrolled in a Fulton County high school to participate in the Virtual Campus program.  To register, the students (and preferably a parent) will sit down with the school counselor and register online.  Students may not register by themselves.  Only a school counselor may register him/her.  The student must be present during the registration process and provide all necessary information for registration.

 

Students may register for two .5 credit courses per semester.

 

Once the registration period has closed, no one will be permitted to enroll late.

 

 

Tuition

A course fee of $300 per student for Fulton County School students has been established for all Virtual Campus.5 credit courses.  If the course is taken during the school day, the student’s tuition is paid through the FTE model.  Students will earn .5 Carnegie Units upon successful completion of the course.  This fee will cover the license costs for platform access, student and teacher support, teacher training, course development, instruction, and access to resources. 

 

Students will receive registration confirmation in a course, however, enrollment in the course is not final until payment is received.  All courses require a minimum of 8-10 registrants to confirm the class.  Students will receive notification in a timely manner and course fees will be returned if the required number of registrants is not obtained.  Some courses close early due to excessive enrollment.  Students who have registered but are not enrolled in a course due to excessive enrollment, will be notified and course fees will be returned. 

 

 

Drop/Withdraw

Students may drop/withdraw within 2.5 consecutive days* after beginning a Fall, Spring, or Summer term course and receive a refund minus a registration service fee of $35.  .  Students may receive a full refund only if they drop/withdraw before beginning the course. 

 

A request to drop/withdraw must be submitted in writing (e-mail and FAX are acceptable) to the Virtual Campus office.

 

Any drops after the deadline will result in no refund.

 

* Classes begin on a Saturday.  The drop deadline is therefore on the following Tuesday at noon.

 

Payment

Payment must be made online within 24 hours after registration.  Payment must be made in the form of a credit card and is automated through the registration process or after signing into the course.  Failure to meet the payment deadline may result in a withdrawal from the course.
