My student would like to try to take both A & B courses during the same term (Fall, Spring, Summer):

• Students must be able to finish both courses by the term end date.
  1. Register for both A & B courses. 
  2. Only pay for the A course.
  3. Half way through the term, evaluate your students progress:
     • If your student is on track to finish by the half way mark, pay for the B course and the student will be enrolled in 2 business days.
     • If your student cannot finish both, take the rest of the term to finish the A course and drop the B course.
       • You student can always attempt the B course the following term.

I'm trying to register for both A & B for a World Language or AP course and it wont work:

• Registration for these courses is limited to one at a time due to the amount of hours required to complete. 
• Students interested in taking both A & B must complete the A course in half the allocated time then email bvsdonline@bvsd.org to request the B course.

I need to be out of town or I'm going to be busy for a number of weeks during the course. Can I finish it all when I get back?

• Working consistently throughout the term allows you to have the best course experience and earn the highest grades while upholding the academic integrity of the course.
• If you wait until the last couple weeks to attempt your coursework, this does not allow time for your teachers to grade and provide feedback, for you to correct submission errors, or for us to resolve technical issues.

Can I receive an extension for my course?

• Per BVSD Online Policies, there are no extensions to courses beyond the end date.
