Apply to the Health Sciences Programs
The Health Sciences programs require a separate application process and only accept students during a specific timeframe. Meeting the minimum application criteria does not guarantee acceptance, especially for programs with competitive admission.
You must be an active student and have valid myNOVA credentials to submit an online application. Application periods open at 12:01am on the start date and close at 11:59pm on the end date. You may not submit more than one application for the same program in an application cycle. If you forget an attachment, you may email MEC Student Services to request your application be sent back to you to add attachments. Applications with missing required attachments will also be sent back for editing as they are processed. Please check your student email account frequently for information regarding your application status.
For password resets and help logging into myNOVA, please contact the IT Help Desk. For all other application questions or to report a missing attachment, please contact MEC Student Services at applymec@nvcc.edu.
