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.
