The Importance of Attending Classes
When you register for a class at NOVA, you are making a commitment to engage fully in the learning by attending the class regularly or by participating in an online class. Since the Commonwealth of Virginia contributes a significant portion of the cost of your education as a NOVA student, and since you are taking a seat in class that might have gone to another student, you must establish your attendance or participation early in the semester.
Effective Spring 2008, if you do not attend at least one class meeting or participate in a distance learning class by the Last Day to Drop with a Tuition Refund (also known as the Census Date*), your class registration will be administratively deleted.
This means:
- there will be no record of the class or any letter grade on your transcript;
- the course credits will be deducted from your course load;
- a reduction in credits may affect your student status -- full-time or part-time;
- you will not receive a tuition refund.
For Summer 2008, the Census Dates are as follows:
- 12-Week Session in-person classes -- June 2;
- First 6-Week session in-person classes -- May 27;
- Second 6-Week Session in-person classes -- July 7;
- ELI’s (Distance Learning) 12-Week courses -- May 31;
- ELI’s first session 16-week courses -- June 4.
(Note: ELI offers three sessions with different starting dates each semester.)*For all other classes (“dynamic” session classes), the Census Date is individually set. To find the Census Date for dynamic session classes, do the following:
- Navigate to NOVA home page: www.nvcc.edu
- Click on Class Schedule/Catalog on left;
- Click on the schedule and term from menu;
- Enter Subject, Campus or Center, Session (Dynamic);
- Click Search;
- Click on Class ID (5 digits) for detai
The Census Date for that class (Drop with Refund) is printed on the bottom.
