Your Dual Enrollment instructor will register you for your class. You must provide them with your EMPLID (Student ID) Number. If you have misplaced your EMPLID, you can look it up in My VWCC.
Occasionally, students may change their minds and elect to enroll in a dual class when the school year begins or even after classes have begun. Typically, students have 30 days after the start of the school year (or each semester) to submit their late applications and to register for dual classes at their high schools—provided they have completed the PART I and PART II of the on line application, completed their COMPASS placement tests, or secured their Certificate of Exemption. This 30-day period is typically referred to as the drop/add period. Students may add a dual enrolled class to their current schedule, or they may drop a dual class from their schedule during this 30-day period without any notation of the class made on their transcripts at Virginia Western.
Students and parents need to remember that the drop/add period is only in effect for 30 days from the beginning of each semester of classes.
Students who wish to DROP a dual enrolled class during the first 30 days of the school semester, may do so without any notation appearing on their college record.
On the other hand, students, for whatever reason (academic difficulties, illness, moving), may WITHDRAW from a dual enrolled college class any time after the first 30 days but prior to the last date to withdraw.
Your school's guidance coordinator and your instructor will have a yearly calendar of dual enrollment deadline dates, which also can be found on this web site. Students who elect to WITHDRAW from a dual enrolled class will receive a "W" on their VWCC college transcript for the class. The college encourages students who are in academic jeopardy to withdraw from a class rather than risk failing the class and receiving an "F" which is computed into a student's grade point average.
We use VW Alert to immediately contact you during a major crisis or emergency.
