Important Reminders

Students will see a “Private Access” Message if the 2-step orientation is not completed

ACCESS Virtual Learning operates three support centers in our state. We have implemented a statewide sharing plan for certain courses that helps us ensure optimal resource allocation and instructional support. We may ask you to enroll some of your student(s) in the Troy University Support Center and the University of Alabama Support Center. The Madison City Support Center will still be your primary contact for any concerns. Our statewide section sharing plan only works if ACCESS guides the process. Please do not enroll your students in sections from the other support centers without our direction.
