> Classes are taught by highly qualified teachers who are employees of Rockdale County Public Schools, offering credit to middle and high school students. A combination of RVC, Rockdale Career Academy, Dual Enrollment, and work based learning are all possible!
> Every student's courseload is different, and Rockdale Virtual Campus recognizes this. Some students require core courses in order to fit the requirements of a Fine Arts Academy or a Business Academy, whereas others may need to take courses to get ahead, or simply because of a heavy courseload. Rockdale Virtual Campus fills all these needs, working with all types of students.
> RVC is an option for any student enrolled in RCPS, home school, private school, or out-of-county students. Students may take all of their classes online through RVC, however a blend of online and traditional classroom learning is recommended for most students.
> For students wishing for help in a subject, RVC also offers free tutoring for enrolled students. Support is offered to both middle and high school students.
We offer the following courses on a semester by semester basis:

The parent(s) should consult with the student’s guidance counselor to determine if an online course is a good alternative to traditional learning. Parents should assist the student by encouraging active participation in the course, completing assignments in a timely manner, and monitoring progress.
Rockdale Virtual Campus School teachers are available to talk to students or parents via "Remind" text messages, email, online video meetings or telephone. The Rockdale Virtual Campus School Director and staff maintains contact with someone at the student’s school and/or a parent to provide updates on progress and discuss appropriate support and encouragement if a student appears to be falling behind.
Students submit all homework electronically. Students upload or attach work completed on their devices. Students will need to know how to save files to a flash drive or hard drive in order to complete this process. Students should maintain a copy of all homework on their personal computer. No homework assignments will be accepted after the Final Exam or End of Course Test is administered.
Quizzes/tests are taken online and automatically recorded in the gradebook so the student is aware of progress within the course. All final exams and End of Course tests are proctored in a face-to-face setting. Students must bring proof of identification (driver's license, student identification card or yearbook) to be admitted to the testing session
Rockdale Virtual Campus School students are expected to attend and participate in their online education courses as fully as they would attend and participate in a traditional classroom course. At a minimum, students are required to login and perform work in their online education courses at least 4– 5 times a week, dispersed throughout the week, for approximately 5 – 10 hours a week for a .5 unit course(.5 Carnegie Unit course) and 10-15 hours a week for a 1.0 unit semester course during Fall and Spring terms.
Due to State guidelines, a student may only repeat a course if a failing grade was received.
