Questions & Answers
What are the requirements to participate?
- Upon requesting entrance into the BVP, all students are screened based on current and historical attendance and academic records. Additionally, students at the high school level have their transcript reviewed to ensure that an available graduation pathway exists within the BVP based on credits earned, credits needed, and credits/classes available within the BVP.
- After review, students will either be granted or denied entrance into the BVP. Students that are enrolled into the BVP after their screening is complete will be enrolled either as a conditional status student or non-conditional status. Conditional status students are placed within the program for 15 days and must maintain an attendance rate of 80% or better in all classes and submit their assignments by their deadlines. If a student on a conditional status does not maintain an 80% attendance rate or better in each course and/or does not complete their assignments, they will need to return to the face-to-face instruction after 15 days. Students on conditional status meeting these expectations will automatically remain in the program on probationary status.
