Summer Course Extensions Instructional directors started granting extensions on August 8th. If large portions of the course are missing, an extension won’t help the student. Extensions will only be granted for two weeks. Please review our Course Extensions Reference Guide for full details on the process. If course extensions are only needed for one to two days for technology issues, illness, and similar reasons at the close of a semester, the school ELA should make that request directly with the NCVPS teacher. A course extension is not needed for a short requests like this. Early Start Courses Begin Aug. 13 Our Early Start classes begin on Monday, August 13. If your students are unable to start on that date, please email their NCVPS instructors. Our instructors are prepared for students to begin on different dates, but it helps them tremendously if they know when the students will begin. Thank you!
