Time Commitment & Class Load

Q: How much time will students need to spend on their summer term class?
Each A2V+ summer class covers a full semester/trimester’s content. Time estimates:

⚠️ NO EXTENSIONS will be granted. All work and proctored tests must be completed by July 25th.

Q: How many classes can students take in the summer?
A: Students may take up to 2 classes (1.0 credit), though we recommend only one due to the workload If taking two sequential classes (e.g., Geometry A & B), Part A must be completed by July 9th to start Part B. NO EXTENSIONS will be granted.

Grades & Transcripts

Q: Will summer courses earn a grade and affect my GPA?
A:  All Grades for high school classes will appear on the student’s transcript regardless of when they were taken. GPA calculations start in the fall of 9th grade, but some colleges recalculate GPAs based on all transcripted courses. A2 Virtual+ does not offer Credit/No-Credit grading.
