At VVS, there are no class caps as we are not restricted by a physical classroom setting.

There is no option for early application. All applications must be submitted within the set application period.

Students must meet all registration requirements prior to applying.

No. Senior high school students must have a final prerequisite course mark on their Detailed Academic Report (DAR; found in myPass), and it must meet our minimum mark requirements prior to registration.

Students transitioning from grade 9 to grade 10 can request courses that do not have prerequisites, such as Career and Life Management (CALM), Physical Education 10, and introductory CTS.

No, there are no differences. Teachers are responsible for and must exercise their judgement in assessing how well you have achieved compared to the course outcomes or objectives. The coursework you complete helps them determine this, which is why they need you to finish it. If you do not submit all work, they cannot assess your achievement on all of the curricular outcomes.

Summer course marks are sent to Alberta Education at the end of the summer term, and should be posted on a student’s transcript by the middle of August.

As VVS courses are asynchronous, students do not have to go online at a certain time each day. However, attendance is monitored through daily logins to complete lessons and the time spent in the Learning Management System (LMS).

• Consistent and timely submission of assessments according to their timeline dates is also a factor, as is maintaining regular communication with teachers. Vista Virtual School students who do not regularly sign in to their course(s) to complete lessons and do not submit assessments according to their timeline dates will be considered truant.

To meet attendance standards, students should:

•  Sign into their courses each day and spend an appropriate amount of time working through lessons.
• Follow the timeline and deadline submission expectations for assessments.
• Communicate with the teacher and school regarding their attendance and schedule needs or exceptions.

Students must work regularly in their courses, submitting work throughout the summer term, and adhere to their provided timelines. Students should not be away for more than 3 days at a time, with no more than 6 days away total from the course.

• No. All summer courses begin on July 1st.

• Yes.
• Students taking a Diploma course are only limited by the Diploma exam dates, which are set by Alberta Education. You may finish your course work early, but the Diploma Exam may not be written early.

• Materials are shipped or available for pickup approximately 5 business days after your application is approved, and you have provided the required materials deposit (payment).
• You will receive an email once your order has been processed by our Distribution Team.
  1. Students who requested pickup at the Calgary Campus will receive an email to schedule an appointment once their order is ready. Be advised, appointments are required and we do not offer same-day pick-up.
  2. Students who requested materials to be mailed will receive an email with their Canada Post tracking number.
