| Registration and training of Site Coordinators
Each Receiver district or open enrollment charter school enrolling students in TxVSN courses should provide an individual employed by the school/organization to serve in the capacity of TxVSN Site Coordinator. The responsibility of the Site Coordinator is to advise and finalize enrollment, monitor student progress, proctor or arrange proctors for exams, and serve as a liaison between the student and online instructor. While it is not required that a professional counselor serve as the TxVSN Site Coordinator, counselors do have the knowledge and skills to effectively fulfill the role. It is possible to have a single district Site Coordinator, a Site Coordinator per campus, or multiple Site Coordinators per campus. As part of your receiver district registration process, all designated Site Coordinators are required to complete training on the role of the site coordinator. Please visit the training schedule link below.

| Student Pre Assessment (Wish list and READI)
READI Pre-Assessment
During the 2009-2010 school year, TxVSN is providing Readiness for Education At A Distance Indicator or READI. READI is a diagnostic tool that identifies students who are at-risk of not doing well in online courses due to measured sets of traits, skills and knowledge. READI provides an immediate score and diagnostic interpretation of results to the student and to their prospective school. Assessment takes approximately 15 – 20 minutes to complete. READI is strongly suggested for all students interested in taking a TxVSN course.
Each registered campus will receive a student log in and password by email. Please designate at least one person per campus as the campus administrator to distribute student login and passwords to students interested in taking an online course. Each campus administrator will have the ability to view campus student activity, test results and individual student test results. A detailed student handout is available at the link below to assist students with login. READI information training sessions will also be available for campus administrators.
TxVSN Student Wish List
Students can continue to make suggestions concerning courses they would like to see offered in the future (Wish List) by TxVSN. The Wish List can be accessed by visiting the TxVSN website, www.txvsn.org, by clicking on the tab ‘Schools and Districts’, then ‘Students’. Students will follow the steps listed for completing their Wish List.

| TxVSN Finance Account
In order to purchase FEE BASED courses through the TxVSN, each district and open enrollment charter school should establish a TxVSN account with Central Operations at ESC Region 10. Establishing an authorized purchasing approver and preferred method of payment early on will expedite course purchase during peak registration periods. It is possible to have a single district central office purchasing approver or an approver per campus. It is recommended that central office and campus staff discuss which model works best with local purchasing procedures.
Please click here to designate and register a district Purchasing Approver.
