At NOVA, we believe in student success. Academic advising is an important contributor to this goal At NOVA, the responsibility for advising students is shared by all NOVA personnel.

Good advising is more than just helping students choose classes. It also assists students with transitioning or returning to college, setting academic and career goals, and developing strategies to meet those goals.

At its best, advising is a developmental process in which students learn to make independent and informed decisions and to take responsibility for their own success.
