Getting Started
Go to any NOVACard office on each of our six campuses to get a NOVACard. Students will need to provide proof of enrollment, current schedule of classes or a receipt, as well as a government issues photo ID. The NOVACard is a secondary form of identification and follows the DMV established procedures for issuing an ID card. DMV procedures requires full faced photos. If special assistance is required for a full faced photo, accommodations can be made at any of the NOVACard offices.
Adding Value to Your NOVACard
Once you have your NOVACard, you need to deposit money on your NOVACard Account at any of the CSVT machines or at any of the Campus NOVACard Offices. The most likely place to find a CSVT machine on each NOVA campus is either in the library or the cafeteria. You may follow the instructions listed on the machine or click here for detailed instructions about how to complete a deposit. There is a minimum amount of one dollar needed to start a NOVACard Account. The CSVT machine accepts cash only -- $1, $5, $10 and $20 bills.
