Getting Started at NVCC
(http://www.nvcc.edu/stuservices/gettingst.htm)

Step 1 Apply for Admission and Financial Aid
If you are attending NVCC for the first time or returning after 3 years of non-attendance, you must submit an Application for Admission. If you are claiming entitlement to in-state tuition rates, you must also complete the in-state tuition section of the application form, prior to registration and payment of tuition. You can apply online at http://www.nvcc.edu/novaconnect/ or submit your application to any campus. There will be a 48-hour processing time upon receipt of the application. If you wish to apply for student financial aid (grants, loans, work-study), complete the Free Application for Financial Student Aid (FAFSA) available from a campus Financial Aid Information Service/Counseling Center, the College Financial Aid Office (703-323-3199), or on the College Web site at http://www.nvcc.edu/finance. You may also check on the status of your application and awards from this Web site. Information about FACTS, the deferred tuition payment plan, also is available on the Web site.

Step 2 Obtain an NVCC Catalog
Degree and certificate programs offered at NVCC are described in the NVCC Catalog. The catalog also contains prerequisite requirements and course descriptions. Each student who turns in an application at an Admissions and Records Office will receive a free copy of the catalog. You also may access the catalog at http://www.nvcc.edu/.

Step 3 Take Placement Tests
Most new students should take the English and math placement tests. The tests are given at the Testing Center at each campus. A photo ID is required. Allow approximately two hours for each test. If you have questions about whether you need to take a placement test, please see a counselor.*

Step 4 See a Counselor
If you are attending NVCC for the first time, you are encouraged to speak with a counselor before registering for classes. Walk-in advising is available at each campus. Continuing students should see a counselor or their faculty advisor. Students with disabilities can meet with the counselor for Disability Services.*

Step 5 Register for Classes
To register for classes, use NovaConnect on the Web at http://www.nvcc.edu/novaconnect/ or the NovaConnect telephone registration system at 703-323-3770 or 703-330-3770 (Prince William County). (See the NovaConnect Telephone Registration Helpful Hints page in this schedule.) (Note: Mailed/faxed registration forms will not be processed.) First-time students should enroll for STD 100 or another Student Development course. You may check for open classes on the Web at http://www.nvcc.edu/novaconnect/.*

Step 6 Pay Your Tuition
If you enroll between November 15 and December 15, payment for all classes is due December 15, 2004 by 5:00PM. If you enroll December 16, or later, payment for all classes is due the day of enrollment or your classes will be dropped! You may enroll and pay at different times during the day, but payment must be received the same day for your class to be protected. To pay by a credit card (Visa or MasterCard), you may use the NovaConnect telephone system or you may pay online using NovaConnect on the Web by clicking on the “Make A Payment” button in the Financial Services area. Then follow the instructions for paying by credit card. When paying on the Web, be sure to print a copy of your confirmation number to have for future reference. Information about FACTS, the deferred tuition payment plan, is available on the Web site. If you wish to pay your tuition by check, cash, or money order, you may do so at a campus Business Office during regular or extended business hours. Mailed payments by check or money order must be received by December 15, 2004. You also may mail a check or money order payment to the campus Business Office. If you wish to pay your tuition in cash, you must pay in person at a campus Business Office during business hours. The Business Office also accepts contract authorizations, check, and money order payments during business hours. Refunds credited to your credit card are available only when you pay on NovaConnect Web. For credit card payments made on the NovaConnect telephone system, refunds will be processed to the student as checks. For more information, see the “Tuition” section in this schedule.*

Step 7 Access Your Free Student E-mail Account
You will receive updates on course changes and other pertinent information through your e-mail account. For access instructions go to http://www.nvcc.edu/ithd/studentmail.html.

Step 8 Check Your Registration Schedule
You can print a copy of your registration schedule using the NovaConnect Web site at http://www.nvcc.edu/novaconnect/. You also can check your classes and payment status by telephone. It is your responsibility to check for errors. Please verify that you have registered for the courses that you intended to select. It is important to obtain a copy of your registration schedule every time you make changes to your schedule.

Step 9 Buy a Parking Permit
Permits are required for all vehicles parked in all lots. Student permits are valid only in “B” lots. Beginning November 15, 2004, you may purchase a spring 2005 permit by logging onto the Parking Services Web page at http://parking.nvcc.edu/. Beginning January 10, 2005, you may purchase a permit in person at any one of the College Parking Offices. The charge for a parking permit is $35.00 per semester/session. Parking permits are required for all semesters/sessions of enrollment. For more information, see “Parking” in the General Information section of this schedule

Step 10 Buy Your Books
Print your schedule of classes and take it to the campus bookstore; or, reserve your books online at https://www.nvcc.bkstore.com. Books should be purchased from the campus bookstore where the course is located.
