*** ALL STUDENTS WHO WANT TO BE IN VA FOR 2025-26 SCHOOL YEAR MUST FILL OUT THIS APPLICATION, EVEN IF THEY ARE CURRENTLY VA STUDENTS. ***
Hey Virtual Academy students! It is time to request your courses for next school year!! Here are some resources to help you plan your courses.
2025-26 Course Planning Webinar
STEP 1 - PLAN YOUR COURSES
Review your PCHS transcript
Student’s transcripts are available in the Infinite Campus student portal, under “Documents”.
The "credit summary" grid lists completed courses which meet your graduation requirements.
Use the Course Planning Resources (below) to enter courses taken and plan your future courses.
Note anything that is still remaining. Let your counselor know if you are missing any summer work or outside courses on your transcript.
Explore course options and write out your plan
Print your plan sheet here:
Current 9th graders, use the 10th grade plan sheet
Current 10th graders, use an 11th grade plan sheet
Current 11th graders, use a 12th grade plan sheet.
Use the 2024-25 PCHS Course Catalog and Course Offerings 2024-25 to research courses.
Discuss course selections with current teachers. Teacher recommendations are the strongest predictor of success.
Review your course requirements
Students must take a minimum of 6 classes
STEP 2 - SUBMIT YOUR COURSE REQUESTS
Students must be accepted to the Virtual Academy in order to use this form. Please see your counselor if you have any questions about the program.
Students enrolled in Virtual Academy will enter their Fall 2025 - Spring 2026 course requests here: 2025-26 VA Course Requests
Do not request courses through Infinite Campus. There will be an option to request in person courses on the Google form.
If you have decided to return to in-person classes, please go to your grade level page here.
PROGRAMMING TIPS:
Student's requests do not guarantee placement in the courses. Students are selecting their requested courses. Entrance to courses may be changed due to space, eligibility, and seniority, as well as graduation requirements. The Counseling Office will make the final schedule, using teacher recommendations, availability and course balancing.
The counselors will program courses requiring teacher approval (AP History, VAPA, Yearbook, Leadership, etc.), including athletic teams, after receiving lists from those teachers. Students will not be able to select those courses. Select an alternate if you are unsure of your status.
Students with specialized requirements, such as Special Education or other intervention courses, MAY see those courses already programmed and locked. They will be able to select any additional electives.
Students may want to select courses from each of the academic areas (English, Social Studies, Math, Science, World Language) each year to be most competitive for a four year college.
Students who are deficient by 30 credits or more MAY be automatically enrolled in courses through Pali Academy, and may have different requirements.
On-line, college, independent study and other outside courses which are in-progress are not included in Infinite Campus ALERTS
