College Career Ready Virginia (CCRV)

CCRV Overview

The College and Career Ready Virginia (CCRV) Program is a statewide initiative designed to expand access to dual enrollment for high school students. CCRV ensures that qualified juniors and seniors from our local school divisions can complete either the Passport Program or the Uniform Certificate of General Studies (UCGS)—both widely transferable across Virginia’s public universities—at no tuition cost to students.

By removing financial barriers, CCRV creates opportunities for students to earn college credits early, build momentum toward a degree, and save on the cost of higher education.

At NOVA

At NOVA, CCRV will allow eligible dual enrollment students to complete a prescribed pathway of courses either taught by credentialed high school instructors or, when needed, provided virtually by NOVA. NOVA’s CCRV Pathway ensures students have access to the courses necessary to complete the Passport or the UCGS prior to graduation.
