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.

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)!
