Texas's fifty community colleges, along with the Texas State Technical College System, collaborate in providing all Texans with access to quality instruction and support through the Virtual College of Texas. Vernon College participates in the Virtual College of Texas.

Students may register at their local college to take classes that are offered by other VCT participating institutions throughout Texas. Both credit and non-credit classes are offered.

The policy for registering for VCT courses through Vernon College is as follows:

1. Students will only be allowed to take VCT courses through Vernon College after they have completed six (6) semester hours of college-level courses in residency at VC.

2. VCT courses will only be made available to students in subject areas where VC does not normally offer courses within a given calendar year. The only exception to this rule will be if the student needs a course in the VC inventory in order to graduate prior to the next scheduled offering of the course. In those cases, the VCT course will only be made available through Vernon College if VC is not offering the course that semester or if the course is offered but all sections of the course are closed (including Internet, face-to-face, and ITV).

3. All VCT registrations will occur during the late registration period.
