When you pay, you will notice a small additional cost added to your course fee total. This small cost is not collected by VirtualSC PD. The state’s official Web Portal, SC.gov, includes a small cost used to develop, maintain, enhance, and expand the service offerings of the state’s payment portal. You will receive a welcome email from your facilitator the Thursday before courses begin. If you enroll in a Self-Paced course, your facilitator will send you a welcome email within 2 business days.
