Ede 11

I’m a bit confused about how the credits for ede 11 + Eng 111 work. Will I get 6 credits for English when I transfer ? I get it’s a supporting class but technically it’s still 3 credits, so where does it go.

NOVA x GMU?

I just recently learned that theres a way to take classes at NOVA and GMU at the same time through the Advance program, but it's also come to my attention that it depends on your major and only certain classes are offered through certain majors. Does anyone have any experience with this or know which majors this program would benefit most?

SIS keeps dropping me out of my class after not letting me pay for it

I have been stressed out for the past two weeks. I’ve been adding the one class I need to graduate and it keeps getting dropped and I end up on a waitlist. No one from the financial aid / business office has been able to figure this out and I’ve been on the phone with them all week, I don’t know who to talk to at this point.

This class isn’t it in my degree plan so my financial aid won’t cover it, when I go on SIS it shows me a balance but when I click pay my bill it won’t let me and shows I have a balance of 0 dollars.

If anyone can please let me know how to pay my bill because I can’t get dropped from this class a fourth time and risk losing it, or give me anyone I can contact. Thank you in advance.

Difference between 15 week classes and classes that start later in the semester?

I recently got dropped from my classes because I forgot to pay and when enrolling for the same classes I chose to enroll in half of my classes that started as the beginning of the semester (january) and the other half of my classes start in February or march. I was wondering what the difference was between these types of classes and if the ones that start later on in the semester are any different or more difficult as they all end on the same day 5/12.

Get credits transferred from another college?

Basically, I transferred out to a 4 year college about a year in to nvcc. I did a semester only before realizing it was more expensive than we had calculated especially with living costs. so now im back at nova for the time being, question is how can I get the credits I took at the other institution over to NVCC? I checked and they do transfer. I submitted the "Transfer Credit Evaluation Request" but do I also have to order the transcript from the college and set the address to NVCC so they receive it or something?

Dental Cleaning

Hi Everyone!

My name is Laura, I'm a first year dental hygiene student at Northern Virginia Community College in Springfield & I am starting to see patients on Monday February 24th! The cost for the cleanings is typically $35 however, I am offering to cover the fee for my first 6 patients this semester!

My school offers, on a per need basis: 🦷 X-rays 🦷 Fluoride 🦷 Oral Cancer Screen 🦷 Periodontal Assessment 🦷Cleaning & Deep Cleaning (if needed) 🦷Sealants 🦷 Treatment Plan

Because we are a teaching program, the appointments can be up to 3-4 hours long (3-4 visits needed per pt. excluding children). I know these are really long appointments but you'll really be helping me out more than I can say. You would help me earn my grades for the semester & meet my patient goal + display & improve my skill set. Thank you in advance! For more information/any questions pls feel free to message me.

  • No insurance needed
  • Paper work can be filled out before the appt or upon arrival
  • Different age ranges needed!

Appointments begin on February 24th, my days for appts are Monday 9am-12pm & 1pm-4pm + Thursday 9pm-12pm. My number is ‪(703) 672-0191‬ feel free to reach out to me! Thank you in advance, please share this post and PM me with any questions!

ETA: thank you so much to everyone who reached out, my calendar is now full for the spring semester. I will be seeing patients in the summer and fall, however if you'd like to be seen this spring you can PM me your phone number and I can share with my classmates who may still need patients for their calendar. Thank you again to everyone who reached out!

Can’t buy book I need?

This NOVA all access is driving me crazy.

I’m opted out. Am currently trying to purchase a zybooks access code for my CSC 208 class. It worked fine with my CSC 223 course and was able to directly purchase from the Zybooks website. With my CSC 208 course I can’t do that? It keeps asking for an access code. When I go to the Barnes and noble website and use the course finder my class section isn’t listed under the nova all access opt out section but it’s there for the all access one?

I really hope this isn’t going to force me to opt back into nova all access when I’ve already purchased other books I need for my classes. Does anyone know why I’m having this issue?

NOVA’s President Is Gutting Programs Again (Annandale Ceramics Edition)

Alright y’all, big mess at NOVA right now, and ceramics is the latest casualty.

Anne Kress is cutting the ceramics program at Annandale, claiming there’s “no demand” for it even though every ceramic class is full with a waitlist, most students take it for credit, not just for fun, and it’s the most pursued AFA. She wants to shut down the whole ceramics studio and turn it into a workout room.

And this isn’t just about ceramics, Kress has been gutting NOVA since she got here.

  • She already cut all sports programs
  • She forced the All-Access textbook scam on students, letting Barnes & Noble pocket $4M
  • She won’t hire enough full-time faculty, nearly jeopardizing NOVA’s accreditation
  • Faculty voted NO CONFIDENCE in her leadership, but she’s still making reckless cuts
  • Staff & faculty walk on eggshells, afraid of retaliation if they speak up

 She pulled the same stunts at Monroe Community College in NY, leaving them in shambles before jumping ship. They also gave her a vote of No Confidence and she just dismissed it. Now she’s treating NOVA like a business instead of a school, ignoring students and faculty while making harmful top-down decisions again.

Students need to get loud.

 She already wrecked one school. Let’s not let her do it to NOVA. We started a petition to address this as well. Please sign it and help us save our ceramics studio: https://chng.it/xd5SWtMStb

GEO 220

Hey guys wondering if I could still swap my GEO 220 zoom class for a different class because I honestly dislike the teacher. Could I still swap my class even though it’s the second week in?

Got dropped from my classes due to non-payment. All of them still have seats open. Can I still enroll?

To keep it brief I got dropped due to non-payment. I had setup a payment plan for my classes, but I had deposited the wrong amount in my account, so the college returned the payment and dropped me from all my classes.

Now realizing my error, I have the correct amount of money needed and have also re-added all those classes to my shopping cart. Seats are open in each class, so I'm good on that front. I'm a bit worried about the enrollment, however, since the deadline was the 27th. I contacted the advisors office, but I most likely won't hear anything till Monday. Am I screwed, or will I still be able to enroll?

Birding Club

Hi! I am thrilled to announce the formation of the Birding Club at NOVA’s Loudoun Campus!

Who we are: This is a community for students passionate about birds/wildlife, nature conservation, or those interested in both! This student-led organization plans to be affiliated with the National Audubon Society as an on-campus chapter. For more insight, the National Audubon Society is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to conservation of birds and their habitats. As an Audubon Campus chapter, we will work to protect birds and their habitats to create meaningful changes on- and off-campus.

Here’s what we will be doing: We will enjoy bird watching walks, develop bird identification skills, and work with a local Audubon Center to aid in conservation efforts. This organization’s fundamental goals are to appreciate birds while raising awareness for bird conservation and to create a deliberate bird friendly campus.

If interested, reach out to mm282020@email.vccs.edu or join at https://discord.gg/MCFH9ytT
