🎓 About WCVU Classes

West Coast Valley University (WCVU) is a college roleplay experience first—but we also offer real skill-building classes for those who want to learn something new while having fun.

📚 Two Types of Classes:

  • RP Classes (LIFE RP Credits):
    Earn credits toward your degree by interacting with classroom objects (like sitting on easels in art class or science lab chairs).
    These credits count toward graduation in your chosen major.

    Learn real-world Second Life skills taught by live instructors.
    Class availability depends on the teacher—check Discord for the current schedule.
