NOVA's Return to Campus Plan - Fall 2020
NOVA is preparing to return to campus when classes begin on August 24, 2020. We remain committed to the health and safety of our students and employees. While much remains uncertain about the future impacts of COVID-19, this plan outlines NOVA’s 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 College is prepared to follow Virginia’s guidance on both easing and reinstating public health restrictions as the situation changes. This plan has been reviewed by the State Council of Higher Education and has been found to be compliant in containing the required components of the ‘Higher Education Reopening Guidance,’ which was developed in consultation with the Virginia Department of Health.
