COS INFORMATION

VTEC students are to take a minimum of one COS course per year.  Many students are taking more, and are on track to graduate with their AA degree, and/or with many transferable credits.

It's not too late to register for COS classes!  Make an appointment with Mrs. Williams.  You must have a Concurrent High School Permission Form on file and have completed an online application.  Registered students should pay fees, buy textbooks, and get parking/bus pass if needed.  Make sure you have a COS ID card, which may be necessary when taking tests ($5 replacement fee).  Make sure Mrs. Williams got a copy of your schedule and COS Request form.  If for any reason you feel you need to drop a class, see Mrs. Williams well in advance.  Students waitlisted for summer school must get an add code from their instructor and use that code to add yourself to the class immediately.  Visit the COS Welcome Center for assistance.

As the COS semester ends, make sure you bring your report card and any receipts to VTEC  (JZ) to have grades added to your transcript and request reimbursement of fees/textbooks (bring the book(s).
