NOVA is preparing to return to campus when classes begin on August 24, 2020. The college remains committed to the health and safety of students and employees. While much remains uncertain about the future impacts of COVID-19, NOVA has outlined safety considerations for limited on-site instruction, services and operations during the fall semester. This plan is grounded in a commitment to follow all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Virginia Department of Health (VDH) guidelines for COVID-19 safety.

The NOVA Educational Foundation (NOVA Foundation) is proud to announce eight new Board members, effective June 10, 2020. Through its donors, the NOVA Foundation funds more than 350 scholarships, emergency aid, and a range of academic programs and student services throughout the College's six campuses and NOVA Online.
