SDV Information

SDV Information

VCCS policy requires that SDV 100 or 101 be taken within the first 15 credits of enrollment. Enforcement of this policy at 高爆率龙虎斗 requires students to enroll in SDV within their first semester of attendance unless they meet one of the exemptions outlined below.

This policy applies to all 高爆率龙虎斗 students in a curricular program of study (students who are planning to complete a degree or certificate at 高爆率龙虎斗).

Exemptions:

  • Non-curricular students (those who take individual classes without planning to earn a degree or certificate) are exempt from the requirement to complete SDV 100 or 101 within their first semester of attendance.
  • Students who have already completed an associate degree or bachelor’s degree at a regionally accredited institution do not need to take SDV 100 or 101. These students will, however, need to complete the transcript evaluation process to use this exemption to earn their 高爆率龙虎斗 degree or certificate (if SDV 100 or 101 is required for the program).

If the enrollment deadline for the second 7-week or other later starting term has not already passed, you will be able to withdraw from the SDV course in which you are doing poorly only if you have registered for a later starting section of SDV 100 or 101. Note that you are responsible for tuition for both the SDV course you withdraw from AND the second SDV course.
