Registering for Online Classes

To take online classes fall 2020 and spring 2021, you must submit an Online Course Request Form and register online directly with the school of your choice -- Fulton Virtual or Georgia Virtual. The deadline to complete both of these steps is May 1st.
Northview no longer requires that you complete a form to sign up for optional summer classes. However, we highly recommend that you talk to your counselor beforehand to make sure that the class you plan to take is appropriate for you.
