Additional Information
Which documents will I need to upload? The types of documents you should have ready to upload into a registration form are: citizenship documentation, current transcript/report card, current instructional support plans (ISP), etc.
What is the prerequisite mark for the course I want to take? To confirm that you have completed the necessary prerequisite course requirements, please review our 2024/2025 Summer Prerequisite Chart. This information is also available in our 2024/2025 Course Catalogue.
Can I register after the semester start date? Yes, but you will have less time in the course, as all students must complete their coursework by the semester’s end date. If a student registers late, we recommend that they speak with their teacher regarding their timeline and how they can catch up in the course.
How do I make a change to my SchoolEngage account? If you require changes to an existing SchoolEngage account, or need a new SchoolEngage account for an existing student, email us at vvsupport@pembinahills.ca. Please do not create another SchoolEngage account if one was previously set up or add a student that already exists.
How do I make a change on my registration form? If you need to make a change to a registration form that you have already submitted, please reach out to us at vvsupport@pembinahills.ca for assistance. Please do not create a new SchoolEngage account or submit another registration form.
How do I add or change my courses after enrollment? If you want to add courses after your registration form has been approved and processed, log-in to SchoolEngage. Click on your student’s name and complete the
VVS 2024-2025 SUMMER Course Addition/Switch/Withdrawal Form.
NOTE: Changes to submitted course and material requests may result in a later course start date and less time to complete the course by the semester deadline. There is a $25 course switch fee each time a request to change courses is submitted.
