Altavista Center
The CVCC Altavista Center opened in January 2001 at the
Altavista Office Park (formerly the Lane Corporate Office
Building) at 701 5th Street in Altavista. The Center offers a
broad spectrum of day and
evening programs in credit and non-credit modes and
specialized training in workforce development for business and
industry. Delivery systems include traditional classroom
instruction as well as Web-based/Internet courses, compressed
video *, computer assisted programs, Lab-in-box
learning, and print-based courses. Assessment services available
are COMPASS placement testing, Work Keys assessments, and career and
interest inventories. The complete COMPASS test can usually be done
on a “walk-in” basis during the hours of operation (allow at least
two and a half hours). Students should call the Center for
appropriate testing fees.
Open computer lab time is set aside for enrolled students.
Tutoring services in most subjects are available as needed.
* Compressed video classes are live, two-way televised
classes originating at CVCC and broadcast to off-site locations in
real time. These classes allow for interaction between the
instructor and students and can be offered with less than nine
students at each location.
