Login Info CHANGES Fall 2011

While VSU students enrolled in eCore courses must follow eCore withdrawal policies, any withdrawals from eCore may be counted in VSU's limited withdrawal policy.
Please see the 5 Course Withdrawal Policy FAQ wegpage for details!!!

Welcome to the VSU eCore® web site. The eCore® are core curriculum classes taught via GeorgiaVIEW and are designed for students who need the flexibility and convenience of online learning. Core classes are typically those classes required during the first two years of a college degree. Since not all core curriculum classes will be available as eCore, you may need to take some core classes in a traditional classroom setting.

Useful Links:

  • Georgia's Core Online eCore web page maintained by the University System of Georgia, especially for eCore students. This page has the most up to date information on class schedules, eCore calendar, and many other resources (including links to the eCore Blog, eCore Facebook group, eCore Twitter account, & eCore MySpace page)!
  • Survival Guide New to eCore or want to find out if eCore is right for you?
  • FAQ - Getting Started Want more information about admissions, financial aid, tuition & fees, advising requirements, registration, schedules, drop/add & withdrawal procedures, textbooks & lab kits, or technical support?
  • VSU & eCore Core Equivalents View a layout of core curriculum requirements & VSU course equivalents to assist you in planning how to best use eCore to complete the first two years of college.
  • Feedback Please take time to complete this brief survey - we want to know your impressions of eCore. Your responses will be kept confidential and will help us improve our efforts, therefore benefiting you and other students.
