What do summer courses cost? Are any courses free?
Summer courses are $250 per half unit and $500 for a full unit course. VISA or Mastercard are accepted online paid through the student account.
Do you have to log in everyday?
Beginning on your start date, you must log in every weekday. A half unit class will average 4 hours of work per weekday, and a full unit class could average up to 8 hours per day. You are doing 18 weeks of work in 5 or 6 weeks.
Is this summer program independent study?
No, the courses are taught by highly qualified, Georgia-certified teachers, and there is a pacing schedule to follow with penalties for late work.
How do I access the courses?
Courses are available from any reliable internet connection 24/7.
How do I contact my teacher?
Instructors will post their office hours and contact information on the course homepage. Phone and email are available.
What if I have a camp or vacation planned during the session?
You must have a minimum of 5 full weeks that you can devote to the course. If you have less time than that, you will not be successful.
How do I get the credit put on my transcript?
Schools must approve your course requests and in doing so, are agreeing to accept the numerical grades earned and award the credit according to local school policies.
What if I need to drop from the class?
Students are eligible for a refund the first three days after the start date. Students may drop through the last week of class, but no refund will be issued. If a student attempts the final exam, the student is not eligible to drop the course.
How do I get enrolled?
From the main website (www.gavirtualschool.org), follow the Login to GaVS link and Register for a STUDENT account. Submit course requests from your student account. Your school must agree to participate and approve your course requests.
Is there any kind of Orientation?
There is nothing face to face, each course begins with a Getting Started Module. This module will orient you to your GaVS courses.
Do parents have access to student progress?
Yes. A parent may register for an account which will provide access to grades during the session.
Can I take my final exam early?
No. GaVS has a final exam week, and students must take exams during that week. Students should not enroll in a summer course if there is a conflict with the final exam week.
