Please do not create a new account if you already have one. This will delay the process of regaining access.

• If you have not yet received your Â鶹ӰÊÓ username and password, visit the to have a password reset sent to your personal email.
  • If you forgot which email you used to create the Voyager account, email cihs@hvcc.edu for assistance.
• If you have already received your Â鶹ӰÊÓ username and password, visit the for more information.

General course offerings are listed on the Â鶹ӰÊÓ College in the High School webpage each term. Information on specific course sections, reflecting up-to-date course availability, is located within the student portal.

If you are interested in registering for a course but do not see it listed, please email cihs@hvcc.edu to determine if this is a course available to CIHS students.

When creating your account, you will be asked to select your high school. Homeschooled students are required to obtain course approval from someone either within the school district (e.g. homeschool admin, superintendent's office, etc.) OR through whatever entity you submit quarterly/annual reports to (e.g. local BOCES), and should use the information below on completing the high school field when creating their account.

• If your reporting is done through the local school district:
  • Select the school district in which you reside and submit reports to.
  • Once course registration is requested, the district will receive notification and be asked to approve your request.
    NOTE: You can follow up with your contact within the district to ensure they are aware of the request and complete their evaluation process to approve your request. 
• If your reporting is done through another entity:
  • Select "My High School is not listed"
  • Fill in three additional fields as follows:
    • For High School Name, enter the name of the BOCES or other entity you work with.
    • For Counselor Name and Email, enter the name and email address of the administrator you work with. This will allow them to be added to our system and approve any requests for course registration.

Course modality refers to how a student will get instruction from their instructor and participate in course activities. Â鶹ӰÊÓ uses the following modalities:

• Hybrid = combination of instructional methods
• In-Person/Traditional = face-to-face meeting in a classroom (includes those courses taking place in your high school)
• Interactive Television = face-to-face meeting in a classroom broadcast to other learning environments
• Online (Asynchronous) = conducted entirely online and course materials are not presented in real time
• Remote = conducted via the internet with designated meeting times for online lecture

If there is a prerequisite, you will see the prerequisites included with the course information. For example, if a student wants to sign up for BADM 111, the prerequisite will show that they need to have completed BADM 110 first. Most students take entry level courses, so this field will be blank.

Below is a screenshot from a current student application showing how prerequisites are displayed:

It is suggested that you speak with both your course instructor and your school counselor before deciding to drop or withdraw from a course.

If you decide that you need to drop/withdraw from your class, login to and select Drop/WD requests. This request will be reviewed by the Registrar’s Office and you will be removed from the class as long as the request is made within the published drop/withdrawal dates. When you submit a Drop/WD request, you school counselor will also be notified.

NOTE:

• Telling your instructor is not an official drop/withdrawal.
• You will not be automatically dropped from a course if you stop attending.
• If you stop attending without dropping or withdrawing by the published date, you will still receive a final grade for the course.

Â鶹ӰÊÓ is required under IRS regulations to provide a Form 1098-T to each student enrolled in a course that offers college credit. This also includes high school students enrolled through their high school. As part of the 1098-T, the college is required to request the student’s Social Security Number.

Â鶹ӰÊÓ works with high school counselors to review and approve course requests. After the student fills out an application, the counselor will need to complete the counselor review to approve course requests. Only then will the request be sent to Â鶹ӰÊÓ for finalizing registration.
