Process of Enrollment
-
Students (or someone on their behalf) call LVA first to express their interest.
-
We will then call back to make an appointment to do a one-on-one meeting with student.
-
Student fills out an application that asks the student to provide background about themselves.
-
Student takes a CASAS and WIST placement test so that LVA knows what grade level the student is in.
-
After the test is scored, the student is then enrolled in an available class according to their grade level.
