Information for VLN Summer School

This information has just been forwarded to me from Vancouver Learning Network (VLN) regarding summer school courses VLN offers.
Registration for VLN summer school will open April 5 at 9:00 a.m. and will close on July 4 at 9:00 a.m. What is extremely important for students to know is that if the course you are registering for is a pre-requisite for a course you are planning to take in September 2011, then the summer school course MUST BE COMPLETED by August 11 at 9:00 a.m. The drop box for assignments will close August 8 at 9:00 a.m..

To illustrate the above with an example: let's say you wish to take social studies 11 in September 2011 at the school, and are signing up to take social studies 10 with VLN during the summer, you must submit all of your assignments to VLN before August 8 at 9:00 a.m., and the course itself must be completed by August 11. Failure to do so would mean you will not be given a report card needed by Templeton that would allow you to be registered for Social Studies 11.

Another important piece of information given to us is that in order to pass a course, every assignment in the course must be attempted and submitted, regardless of what you have gotten in previous assignments. For example, if there are 10 required assignments for a course, and you have received 90% for nine of them, you still must attempt and submit your tenth assignment in order to pass the course. Students who have not attempted all assignments in a course will fail the course.
If you have any questions regarding this, please don't hesitate to come and see me.
