Business Contracts

In this section you’ll find information on special arrangement contracts (SAC) and third-party contracts. 

Special Arrangement Contract

A SAC is an agreement that enables a Virginia-based employer to authorize its employees who reside in other states to take credit classes at NOVA at a special contract rate, in accordance with the provisions of the SAC. Until both the employer and NOVA have signed the SAC, any courses these employee-students take are charged at the out-of-state rate.

Third-Party Contract

To arrange a third-party contract, you must submit a letter to the Campus Business Office from your employer authorizing the College to bill them for the tuition at the time you register to ensure the contract is applied to your financial account. By using an agency or employer contract/authorization, you agree to accept responsibility for the full amount of tuition if the agency/employer does not pay within 30 days after the invoice.
