VLN Student Information, 2024-2025

Learning Updates 

Please allow at least two weeks for processing final grades once you have completed a course. 

1. We notify all students or their parents/guardians of the availability of formal written learning updates (formerly report cards) three times a year, in December, March, and June. 
2. In October we connect with parents of school-aged VLN students, advising them to ask the students to login to show progress in their VLN courses. 
3. Every two weeks we run learning updates and notify students who have just finished courses that learning updates are available with their final marks. 
4. Students may request a learning update at any time by emailing reports@vlns.ca with their legal name and PEN (9 digits). 

If there are any discrepancies and or questions with a learning updates, please email your course teacher. 

Students who wish to have their Grade 10-12 courses included on their Official Transcript in July for graduation must complete their course work and any VLN final exams by the first week of June. 

PSI Reporting 

For Grade 12 or adult students applying to college or university, we can forward interim marks directly to the Ministry of Education and Child Care several times a year. Post-secondary institutions (PSI’s) can access your interim marks directly from the Ministry without your needing to send a sealed learning update to the PSI. You must have completed 50% of the course and you must have taken and passed either the midterm or final exam in the course. 

To get a PSI interim mark sent to the Ministry of Education and Child Care, email your teacher with your legal name, PEN, and course name to request a PSI interim mark. Your teacher will change your student status to “PSI,” and your mark will be sent to the Ministry of Education and Child Care. 

We will be in touch with students directly to inform them when PSI marks are due.
