*Class Enrollment Reminder*: 2017 VECAT schools are still open for sign up on the Germanna Community College website; however, the Culpeper and Fredericksburg locations have mostly filled for the remaining 2017 classes. Paul D Camp and Virginia Western campuses still have seats available if either of these satellite locations are within manageable driving distance.
Helpful Hint for determining if a class has space available: You can determine if a desired class has seats available by locating the course on the Germanna website and looking for either the Add to Cart or Filled indicators on the course page. If the course still has seats available, it will display "Add to Cart" and you can proceed with the registration process.
*Important*: Please make sure to verify the location of your course PRIOR to coming to class - Below is an updated list of all current locations.

Helpful Hints for Maximizing Class Success:
1. Once enrolled in class, make sure to log in to Blackboard as soon as possible to set up your account (this must be done PRIOR to coming to class).
2. Review all materials on Blackboard that are provided for the class you are taking. This series of presentations and videos have been provided for your benefit to help get you familiar with the material covered in class (exam statistics reflect a higher likelihood of achieving a passing score if these materials are reviewed).
3. Read ALL communications from Germanna Community College very carefully so as not to miss important details. If you do not have an email address, check with the individual who registered you for class to see if they have received anything on your behalf.
4. Prior to coming to class, verify that you know the proper location and start time so that you do not travel to an incorrect location and miss valuable instruction time (all of this information will be provided to you in an email from VECAT Program Coordinator Dave Laraway).
5. Make sure that you are equipped with the proper tools and/or equipment required for the class you are taking (i.e. simple calculator, steel toed shoes, etc.).
6. Get lots of rest the night before class. These classes contain a lot of information and there is a lot of sitting time. You need a fresh and rested brain to give you the best chance possible at success come exam time.
