Welcome to NVCC’s New Printed Schedule of Classes!
Our New Look
Beginning Fall 2006, the print schedule was redesigned in two columns instead of three, making it less crowded and easier to read. We've also added color to make it easier to find what you're looking for.
Important Differences in the Printed Schedule
Most class notes and details under each class have been by a series of symbols. Each symbol is explained below in detail, and the legend at the bottom of each page reminds you what they mean.
The symbol “!” indicates that you need to look at the course listing online to find the important details listed there.
There are two ways to find courses online:
-
Go to the Schedule Search located at http://www.nvcc.edu/schedule/crs2072/. Select the search options of the class you want, click SEARCH, and scroll down until you find the right course—all the details will be printed under the course.
-
Log onto NovaConnect and search for the course by course prefix and number, or by class number. To reveal the course information, you must click on the "page" symbol at the far right of the class listing, and the information will appear. Print this page if you want to keep the information handy.
Class Symbols
Pay attention to the symbols following class listings. They indicate that there is additional information explained at length in each course’s online listing. An explanatory key for the symbols is printed at the bottom of each page of the Schedule of Classes, with a more complete explanation listed here:

How the Schedule Works
The NVCC Schedule of Classes lists courses for the semester alphabetically for all six campuses, the Extended Learning Institute, and the Arlington and Reston Centers. You may select your courses from any campus for any day or time, unless otherwise noted. Simply choose the section you wish to take and copy the information down on your Class Schedule Worksheet.
The printed schedule is subject to change. Always check the online listing, which may be updated after the schedule is printed.
