Registration Details
Registration Details
Registration opens Monday, March 29, 2021.
Enroll students through the NCVPS registration system. If you need access, contact our Virtual Support Center.
If you are a new e-learning advisor and NCVPS point-of-contact for your school, please update your contact information in our registration system. Click on the “My Info” tab when you log in to update your information. Please remember that there is only one login per school. If your school already has access, you will need to share the login username and password.
If you are new to the NCVPS registration system or need a refresher, watch our NCVPS Registration Video to help guide you through our enrollment process. You can also print our Quick Registration Guide.
Note: Do you need a yearlong or Early Start section that we don’t currently offer? Submit a request through our Virtual Support Center. We’ll see if we can make that happen.
Home and Private School Parents
If you are a home school or private school, visit our Home & Private Schools page.
Waitlist and Course Capacity List
NCVirtual is not a software program. Our online courses are teacher-led, and we are mindful of their class sizes. If your student is waitlisted for a course, that waitlist is usually temporary. Our instructional directors use the waitlist to determine if they should open a new section or increase the size of a current section. However, each semester, we have a few courses that reach their maximum enrollment capacity. To see courses that have capacity issues, visit our Course Capacity List.
Enrolling in OCS Courses
See our new OCS Program page before enrolling in NCVPS courses. We have streamlined the process. Watch our OCS Registration Video to help with the OCS registration process.
Change in OCS Course Titles
We are updating our OCS course titles to align with DPI guidelines. OCS courses will now be identified as “Blended” in our course catalog and registration system. Be sure to search for “Blended” in our registration system. Here are the changes that you will see:

Enrolling in Intervention Co-Teaching Courses
We have a new Intervention Co-Teaching Program page that gives details on the program and enrollment process. Watch our Intervention Co-Teaching Video to see the enrollment process.
Enrolling in Health and PE Courses
If you’re registering for our Health and PE courses, you’ll see the pop-up reminding you about permission forms for those two courses. These forms are for your records that you will keep at your school. You can create your own forms or use ours. See our Health and PE page for details.
Early Start Students in Standard Start Courses
It’s fine to register Early Start students into our Standard Start calendar courses. Be aware of the end dates for our Standard Start classes. See the next item if you need your students to finish their courses early.
Requesting Final Grades Early
We have a new two-step process for requesting final grades early for Standard Start classes. Schools have the option to have their Standard Start courses with us end on the Early Start end date. We have a two-step process to request early final grades:
Step 1: Districts and schools can opt for early reporting by submitting the form we will post here shortly before the semester begins. We will also post the form in our e-lert messages.
Step 2: Communicate your end-date expectations to your students and our NCVirtual teachers. Do this early in the semester so that our teachers have time to adjust the pacing guides for your students.
Communication between the school, student, and teacher is essential here.
This process is for Standard Start classes only.
