Online Courses
What you need to know about Online Courses.
- Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. By site license agreement, there are registration limits on both VHS and TEC online courses per semester.
- Online courses are open to juniors and seniors, with seniors receiving preference. Students who do best in these courses are self-disciplined, committed, responsible and motivated.
- Students may only register for courses that are NOT offered at HHS.
- TEC online courses translate to 2.5 credits per semester at HHS.
- Though these courses require independent study, students work in an assigned area and time slot, as in any other HHS course. If they fail to log in and keep up with their assigned work, after two weeks they will be dropped from the course per course provider policy.
- Online courses are real courses that require a strong commitment. Students will NOT be allowed to change courses after the start of the semester. If students are dropped from the course due to inactivity, they will NOT be allowed to add another class, and will receive a W/P or W/F on their transcript based upon their grade at dismissal.
- Student's must fill out a registration application, obtain the necessary signatures, and submit the completed form to their counselor as soon as possible. Registrations will only be accepted as space allows.
- Student’s who do not achieve at least a C- final grade for an online course will not be permitted to take subsequent online courses.
- The online Site Coordinators is Mrs. Amy Caruso. Mrs. Caruso can be found in the School Counseling office.
