At NOVA, we have an open-door admission policy. Individuals who have a high school diploma or the equivalent, or are at least 18 years of age and are able to benefit academically from enrollment as demonstrated by assessment in reading, writing, and mathematics can apply to the college.
High school students may be eligible to enroll also for certain dual enrollment courses. Transfer and persons with military benefits are welcome to apply and enroll.
Applying to NOVA is the first step toward reaching your academic and career goals. Start your journey today by selecting the checklist that fits your status, whether you're a new student, transferring, international, military, dual enrollment, or other.
Students may register through the Student Information System. The Student Services Center at each campus can also assist with registration.
Our fully online format lets you balance your studies with personal and professional commitments. We have multiple start dates and term lengths that aligns with your goals and schedule.
