Advising Services

NOVA is committed to helping students become effective agents for their own lifelong learning and personal development through informed planning and decision making. NOVA's advising services enhance student success by holistically supporting, teaching, and connecting students to college programs and resources that help students achieve their academic, career or personal goals.

Students can connect with academic advising for support with getting started at NOVA, establishing academic goals, exploring transfer and career opportunities, navigating NOVA policies and resources, choosing and/or changing a program of study, interpreting advisement reports and progress toward graduation, reviewing course selections and more.

Students who are on academic probation or need more substantial personal support should explore our counseling services.

Academic advising is available for walk-in service at campus Advising Centers or virtually through video, phone, and chat. Students can also make an appointment for advising using the Navigate Student tool in MyNOVAAdvising 101
