Information around course extensions, my availability long term, and graduation timelines

I wanted to share some information with you around course extensions, my availability long term, and graduation timelines.

1. Course Extensions: If you are going to need time beyond June 6th to work on your course, and you've been registered in the course for less than 12 months, you can email your teacher (info generally being on the course site) with a message that says you're an adult and that you'd like to be extended into the summer session. If at the end of the summer session you're still working away and you're still under 12 months of time in the course you can ask to be extended into the following school year. The email to your teacher just needs to mention you're an adult student working with me who wants to continue into the summer.

2. Next Graduation date for diplomas: Just so you know the next date for graduation diplomas is July 1st. That means that there are no graduation diplomas being sent home between now and later July. We just got a batch today. I contacted a couple of you already about this.

3. VLN is reorganizing: In August/September VLN will be moving to Sir Charles Tupper, at King Ed & Fraser (not too far from here). As part of this reorganization many of us won't be moving with it and so my job at VLN is somewhat discontinued at the end of June. I say somewhat because I'm likely coming in for August to cover the counselling department, but would be away for July and beyond August. There will still be continued and uninterrupted service, but I mention this because the personal of the school will be changing fairly substantially. A new counsellor will be available to continue supporting you as well into September.
​
If you have any questions about this or anything let me know. Hope you're all doing well with your classes. Thanks, Nick.
