Every important journey requires careful preparation. NOVA invites you to attend a New Student Orientation (NSO) session offered at NOVA’s five campuses.

New Student Orientation gives you and your parents the opportunity to learn about resources at NOVA, including degree and certificate programs, financial aid programs, transfer agreements and success skills. Students will also receive information on choosing classes and learn how to register for classes online. 

You will have the opportunity to meet with faculty advisors, counselors, admissions specialists and financial aid, as well as, tour our facilities and get answers to your questions!

We encourage you to take advantage of the personalized attention we show to our new students and to get a jump start on your academic career at NOVA!
