Virtual periods have a few simple rules:

Hillsborough Virtual -or- Florida Virtual?
Both options use the same online portal: www.flvs.net. The recommendation is if you are replacing classes on your Brandon schedule with virtual, then use Hillsborough Virtual (HVS). If you are taking extra classes or planning to work during the summer, take Florida Virtual (FLVS). The choice for HVS or FLVS comes when selecting each class.
