 Technology Requirements |
Our world language courses require headphones and microphones. Students need to record their voices in their assignments.
Districts will also find on that page our list of websites that students need access to. Please be sure those ports and channels are open.

| Reminder: No Early Calendar OCS Courses in Spring |
If you are an early calendar school, please enroll in our traditional calendar courses. Once a teacher has been assigned to the course, please contact those teachers and let them know you are an early calendar school and when you need your students to finish. Our teachers will work with your students to modify the pacing of the course for them. Or you can let the students use the full term. All of our spring courses end on June 1, 2018.

Beginning Fall 2018 - Options for Repeating a Course
- If a student needs a flexible start/end date and a self-paced option, FLEX Learning may be the best fit for repeating the course.
- If a student needs a set start/end date (aligning to the semester), then our Traditional option may be the best fit for repeating the course.
- Students will receive a final grade with both the FLEX Learning and Traditional options as all parts of the course with no exempting of content will be required.

Help Desk Issues with Certain Emails
Chrome Update
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- At the top right, click More .
- Click Help
- Click About Chrome
- Relaunch
If you have had your password reset through the Virtual Support Center, the new password will not expire unless you have reset it again. Occasionally, multiple people will request a student's password to be reset (i.e. the student, ELA, lab facilitator, and/or parent), so the password is reset multiple times. This, of course, causes confusion. It's always best if only one person requests a password reset for a student.
If you have forgotten what your password was reset to, you can look up the help desk ticket to access the new password or click on "Forgot Password" on the course login page.
Student Email Confirmations in Canvas
Students should make sure that NCVPS teachers have their correct email addresses, and those email addresses should be confirmed in our Canvas learning management system. This will allow students to receive messages from their teachers and peers in the course forum.
Here's how to confirm student email addresses in Canvas:
Click on "settings" on your name in the upper right side of your course.
Click on "Add Email Address" under Ways to Contact on the right of screen.
Add your correct email if Canvas is not displaying your correct email.
Click on "Register email."
Click the star next to your correct email address.
