Requirements for Completing Online Courses (Please Read Carefully)

CFB Virtual Campus Online Courses

Register Online at Online Registration.

Successful online students need to commit to the following course requirements:

  • Successfully complete an online student orientation within two weeks of enrolling in the course.
  • Dedicate 4 to 6 hours per week to each semester course.
  • Log in to course to work a minimum of 4 days per week
  • Meet weekly timelines for completing and submitting assignments
  • Complete weekly fitness logs for Physical Ed. Class and Pre and Post Fitness Assessments
  • Check email regularly and communicate weekly with your online teacher

Important Note: Students should view online courses as a learning opportunity that is more flexible than attending seated classes. Online courses should not be viewed as less time consuming or less challenging than regular academic classes. Most courses require 70 to 90 hours of online engagement to successfully complete. The primary reasons for lack of student success are not staying on pace and working regularly in their course.

There are a limited number of “seats” in each CFB VCampus course. Registration for each course closes when that course is full and opens again as places become available. Therefore, registration for an CFB VCampus course may be open or closed at any time.

 

Before you register for a course, please make sure that you read and understand the CFB VCampus Guidelines and Policies link on the right side of this page. Adherence to these guidelines, for example, those concerning academic integrity, will be expected and consequences enforced. Students should read all information carefully at our Virtual Campus website to determine if online courses are the right choice for them.

Online courses are not self-paced. Each student will have a specific pacing calendar and schedule for completing and turning in assignments. Late work is subject to grading penalties assigned by the teacher.  Students will need to complete all course work and their exams by their course end date.

When registering for a CFB VCampus course, students must provide the email address that you intend to use throughout your course. That email address must be an active, functional account that will handle large file attachments.

TuitionPayment/Refund Policy

Tuition and fees are the responsibility of the student. Payment and reimbursement policies are conducted through CFB Virtual Campus as outlined by the terms of the registration agreement. Some courses may require the purchase of additional materials and textbooks not included in the tuition fee. Students who withdraw from an online course within 10 days after enrollment may receive a partial tuition refund for the course. A $50.00 administrative fee will be charged for all withdrawals in addition to online credit card payment fees, if used. No refunds will be made for students who request to withdraw from a course after ten days of the course start date.
