learn more about approvals
Homeschool students:
Parents/guardians will log in to VSA and
approve course selections.
Public, private, and charter school students:
Students will need to reach out to their school counselor to verify course selections. FLVS
is not able to approve course selections in place of a student’s school counselor
because FLVS is not the school of record.
Step 5 – Check Course Status
Once courses have been approved, you will be assigned teachers and placed into your courses.This
placement process will begin on the preferred start date you selected during
registration.
Please log in to VSA to check course status!
Step 6 – Get Ready…and Go!
After you are placed in your courses, teachers will reach out about scheduling a welcome call,
sharing important information about the course, the FLVS experience, and to get to know you.
Please note that you do not need to wait for the welcome call to start working in a course. As
soon as you are placed, you have access to begin.
