You must register and pay for your course, workshop, or seminar prior to its
starting date and during the Add/Drop period. The courses offered at the Military Sites have some held seats available to the Military.
However, these are on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please refer to the Military Educational Services web site for Class
Schedules or the NVCC Schedule to help locate those courses
that will meet you degree plan.
Note, the Military will only pay for courses that are listed on your current
Degree Plan/SOC. In order to take a course not listed on your degree
plan, you will have to get prior permission from your Base Education
Office and or change your degree plan.
After you have registered for courses, you may add/drop as desired
up to the last date of the add/drop period. Normally (depending on
Semesters and Session, there is an additional period beyond the add/drop
period in which a student my change their schedule with tuition refund.
Check the current schedule for add/drop and withdraw periods. It
is the STUDENTS RESPONSIBILITY to beware of these dates and the procedures
for adding, dropping and withdrawing from courses. After the drop/add
period you may still get out of a course but you will have to
request
withdraw . Their are two withdraw periods. The first one is withdraw
without Grade Penalty. The second one is withdraw with the possibility
of Grade Penalty.
You can add/drop by simply using NOVAConnet, Phone, or
in person. If you add/drop, ensure you inform your Base Education
as to your change. You can only add a course that is reflected on
your degree plan. In addition, if you add a course, you must provide
payment for the new course. Again you must inform your Base Education
of this change.
If you are withdrawing from a course, you must do two things. The
first thing you must do is complete the
NVCC
Course Withdraw form. Complete this form and return it to NVCC.
The second thing you need to do is contact your Base Education and
let them know of your
withdraw.
If you withdraw during the first withdraw period, your Grade will
be reflected as a W and a bill will be sent to your Base Education
for the course. In addition, to the NVCC Course withdraw form you
MUST contact your Base Education Office and inform them. They will
charge you the money for the withdraw, unless you can provide them
a valid reason via your Change of Command.
If you withdraw during the last withdraw period not only do you
need to complete the steps above but you should also be aware that
you may receive a failing grade. If however, their is a valid reason,
i.e. military duty, NVCC may give you a W or I for the course. This
however, must be addressed via the Professor, and or Department Head.
