Students currently enrolled at four-year colleges and universities
may enroll in most NOVA courses without taking a placement
test to determine readiness to do college-level work. Such “transient” or
guest students maintain their primary enrollment with the four-year
college or university (home institution) and elect to enroll
at NOVA for the limited purpose of taking one or more classes.
To qualify for this special provision, students must provide
specified documentation showing current enrollment or admission
to a four-year college or university.
Students must first apply to NOVA if they have not already
done so: see “Apply
for Admission” on the NOVA
homepage: www.nvcc.edu. Students should answer “No” to
the question “Do you plan to pursue a degree, certificate,
or diploma.” In response to the request for a reason,
they should select “Currently Pursuing a Degree at Another
College.” Students should make careful note of the Customer
ID (EMPLID) assigned to them at the end of the process.
In instances where the student wishes to register
for an entry-level college course (i.e., a course that does not have a college-level
prerequisite), he or she must provide one of the following
for documentation:
-
An official or unofficial transcript from the four-year
college/university.
-
An official letter or form from the four-year college/university
stating the student has permission to take courses for
transfer credit.
-
A letter from the four-year college/university stating
that the student has been admitted and will matriculate
for the Fall 2007 semester.
In instances where a student wishes to register for
a course that has a college-level prerequisite (e.g., students taking
ENG 112 must have completed ENG 111 or the equivalent), the
student must provide documentation showing that he or she
has met the NOVA prerequisite. The documentation required
in this instance is one of the following:
-
An official or unofficial transcript from the four-year
college/university.
-
An official letter or form from the four-year college/university
stating that the student has successfully completed the
prerequisite course.
Note: College-level prerequisites for all NOVA courses may
be found in the Description of Courses section of the Northern
Virginia Community College Catalog: www.nvcc.edu/catalog
Along with the documentation, students must submit a statement
providing the following information:
-
Name of student
-
NOVA Customer ID (EMPLID)
-
Contact Information (mail address,
email address, and phone number)
-
Four-year college or university currently attending or
admitted to
-
Course(s) requested to take at NOVA and campus location
Students must submit the documentation and statement
to the Counseling Center at the NOVA campus where they wish
to take
the courses(s). The documentation and statement may be submitted
in person, mailed, faxed, or emailed to the addresses or numbers
provided below.
Transient students taking advantage of this opportunity
to register for NOVA classes are reminded of their responsibility
to be fully ready to learn and perform at the level expected.
If students wish further guidance about their readiness
to take classes, they may wish to take the placement
tests provided by the college. Doing so may be particularly
appropriate for courses in mathematics, which assume
very specific levels of current competence as specified
in the Description of Courses. Students with questions
about their readiness should discuss the matter with
college counselors. Transient students accept responsibility
for ascertaining whether the courses they take will be
accepted by their home institution for transfer credit.
