Students must have earned at least a "C" average in each of the prerequisites as well as maintain a "C" or better each semester in their AVC class.  Students who earn less than a C at the AVC will be rescheduled into classes at Warren High School if suitable classes can be arranged.  If suitable classes are not available, students will be allowed to maintain their AVC schedule but will be placed on academic probation.

Seniors must have earned at least 18 credits in order to register for an AVC class.  Students "at risk" for graduation may be denied attendance at the AVC.

Registering Procedure

Step 1:     Eligible students may register for the AVC with the guidance counselor.

Step 2:     If a student is denied acceptance to the AVC he/she may appeal to a committee consisting of the Guidance counselor, Principal, and Superintendent.

Step 3:     If the student is still denied acceptance he/she may appeal further to the full Board of Education at the next regular board meeting.
