About Dual Enrollment

With NOVA’s Dual Enrollment program, you don’t have to wait until after high school to start earning college credit. Qualified juniors and seniors (and exceptional freshmen or sophomores) can take NOVA courses at their high school, on a NOVA campus or online.

By earning college and high school credit at the same time, you’ll save time and money, avoid duplicate coursework and prepare for a seamless transition to college. Many students even complete certificates, general education requirements or associate degrees before graduating high school.

NOVA’s program is also proud to be Virginia’s first dual enrollment program accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).
