Looking for more information on the "Cybersecurity, C.S.C." program. Where would be a good place to start?

Hello Everyone,

Since being let go from my previous job back in May, I have been thinking of switching career paths into the tech industry. I'm currently looking at possibly getting certified in Cybersecurity, but don't know where to start. I've sent an information request from NOVA's website and checked out the program page, but what I really want to do is talk with faculty and alumni to ask them the following questions:

  • For faculty, I want to ask them what the certification would entail, what would be expected of me, and how well will they prep me for Security+. I also want to know if pursuing an Associates Degree would be more beneficial instead.
  • For alumni, I want to ask them where they are now career-wise and if pursuing a certification would be beneficial. Also, I want learn from their experiences in the tech industry if it would be the right fit for me career wise.
  • For both faculty and alumni, I want to learn more about if I could be eligible for financial aid and what would be the best path forward for payment.

I'm going to be trying to contact faculty about the program via email and if they can get me in contact with alumni as well, but I also wanted to post here to see if anyone could point me in the right direction.

How doable is CALC1 without prior math exp?

I need Calc1 to graduate on time but I cant fit MD61 on my schedule. Should I just wing it and take MTH163? also, would it be easier to take in online or in person?

Scheduling for Nursing Spring 2025

Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask a quick question for students who are already in the nursing program (or going into) at NOVA.

It says that once we receive our schedule we are basically “under oath” to actually sign up for the schedule they assigned. Has anyone tried differently? I really would like to know if they would catch you if you did not sign up for the schedule they give you, and I did ask Ms Brown a few questions about scheduling.

Please let me know guys, thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻

fuck timelycare

i scheduled an appointment back in september, the earliest i could get with a provider i liked was today at 10 am. couldn't sleep last night but i knew i had waited 3 months for this appointment, so i dragged myself out of bed at 9:45. went into the timelycare app and couldn't find anywhere to join a session, so i checked my email. 9:09 am "your appointment has been cancelled by the provider!" 😐 ok.....fine....'you can reschedule for thursday at 8 am or friday at 9 am! just go into timelycare and do it!' ....ok..fine....go back into timelycare and try to schedule an appointment for one of those days with the same provider, next available appointment is in MARCH!!!! if you're going to cancel an appointment that has been scheduled for 3 MONTHS with less than an hour notice, the least you could do is guarantee me a quick reschedule with the same provider, NOT make someone wait a total of 6 fucking months just to talk to someone. go fuck yourselves timelycare

In-State Tuition Help

I'm not sure who to email for help with this so I'm asking chat lol

My dad is military so I get in-state tuition as a dependent. Or, I would but I'm 22, already have a bachelor degree, and anticipating to be part-time in January-- which are all things that make the military not consider me a dependent anymore. We've lived here for two or three years now and my parents pay state taxes, they own a house here, our cars are registered here, and I have a Virginia DL. So I should get in-state tuition regardless of the military. NVCC is charging me out of state tuition until I can prove I'm eligible for in-state as a dependent because I indicated my dad's military and we're technically residents of another state. I'm just not sure who to call/email.

Sorry if this is confusing, I'm happy to answer any questions to clarify. Thank you!

Transfer credits from university

So I took a semester at the University of Oregon in fall 2023 and I’d like to transfer those credits to NVCC in hopes of it raising my GPA. Problem is only maybe one of those credits apply to my degree and I’m not really sure if it’s worth it to transfer those credits or even how to do it. I started doing the Transfer Credit Evaluation Request form but there’s no spot to upload my transcript. If anyone has knowledge on this any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

VA Transfer Passport

I'm a VCCS student down in the southeast part of the state and not at a NVCC, but I just had a question regarding the VA Transfer Passport and I thought I would ask it here because I didn't know where else to ask this. But regarding the VA Transfer Passport it says that it's optional to fill out and I was just wondering like what are the benefits of it because all I have noticed so far is that it is just there for us to maximize the credits acceptance that satisfy the lower-division gen eds. Like does this affect like the amount of credits one would earn on TOP of the amount of credits they get from their associates degree?

UVA GAA

Hey! I'm applying for the nursing program and I don't want to find myself in a corner later on so I've been looking at the GAAs for an RN-BSN program afterwards. This might be stupid but I just want to make sure my understanding is right. For the UVA agreement specifically, I was wondering if I took my gen ed courses/ courses not nursing related from a school not in VCCS, am I not able to use the GAA?

I have a BS in Human Science from another university so a lot of my course credit would be from that school. To finish the AAS, I'd be taking 42 credits at Nova, which is pretty much just the nursing classes and one co-req.

I'm in a difficult situation.

As of now, I've been attending NOVA for almost 2 years. My plans were to do NOVA for 2 years, earn my associate's degree and transfer to a university and I thought that things were going fine, but I was wrong.

There are still a lot more classes I have to take in order to receive my associate's that I didn't think were required for it. I kept retaking classes I've failed to get a better grade which only delayed me getting my associate's and now, as we are leading towards next year, I don't know what to do.

I wouldn't mind doing another year if it meant that I would be saving up for what's to come, after my first plan didn't work, but there's a problem. I've been unemployed almost all year after getting denied any jobs around my area. I've only had one other job that I didn't want to do anymore. I'm still currently looking for one. I also don't have a car and still live with my parents, so to get to campus, I would have to take the bus or order an Uber. I didn't make many friends on campus either, so I was pretty much alone all of last year and this year.

What that means is all of this could happen again next year, and I don't want to go through that again. I recently turned 20 and things are already going bad for me. I'm scared of what will happen next year for me, because all I can do is hope that things don't get worse.

Associate RN program cost?

For anybody who’s currently in the RN program, what’s the approximate tuition cost? I can’t seem to find any info online (without using the credit calculator).

Im planning to do the RN-BSN route, since most accelerated BSN programs in the area are $70k+. Currently trying to weigh out my options!

Nursing students: what are you using for your nursing liability insurance?

This is a requirement for NVCC's nursing school apparently (and I can't find much info about it on their site and no other prior conversations on this sub about it), and I'm curious what current/former nursing students have used for their liability insurance - ideally something affordable?

received my diploma a couple of days ago, and bought this frame from amazon for 15$, definitely better than spending 150$+ on store frames.

Anyone else think the new VCCS class search page is a complete downgrade?

Exactly what I said in the title. No full professor name, have to click on a class to see if it's zoom/online/etc. (unless I'm missing something?), search parameters disappearing based on the boxes you check and not re-appearing if you uncheck them, and somehow even clunkier than the old system.
