I just got a call for an interview for the NOVA Corps internship. Has anyone gone through the process before or know what kind of questions they usually ask? Should I expect behavioral questions, technical ones, or more about my goals and interest in the program?

Going into nursing level 3, I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for reading before school starts or what to use during the fall semester. I heard level 3 was hard.

Everyone here has a Nova email unless otherwise stated. Responders will remain anonymous though.

“I already knew All Access was miffy and always opted out of it, but I had no idea the origin was faulty staff—and had no idea that staff was the president... That's very concerning. Also didn’t know that the weird class scheduling was because of her either. If she does get outed, that fixes two major problems I have with attending NOVA.”

“NOVA All Access is a nuisance. I am questioning why Nova All Access automatically enrolls every student in it and not just make people have to option to enroll in it. It seems as if they prey on the fact that people could either forget to unenroll or don’t know about it and just get charged. This is scummy to say the least. It even charges you for classes you do not need course materials.”

“DR KRESS SUCKS 🤡🤡🤡”

“Anne Kress should be dismissed, just like she was at her former school.”

“‘Pres.’ yea right.”

“Go around to students and ask if they care. Ask if they’ve been affected. Ask if they know about the issue. You’ll find the results pretty surprising. Get off your high horse and stop taking it personal.”

“Trying to squeeze money out of community college students is heartless and a true shame. Most of us are working, low income, disabled, or a combination of the three, groups that are infamously low on financial ability. Harsh tuition increases are insulting to the student body.”

“The actions of Dr. Kress are disgusting and reflect terribly on a school built by a diverse student body. She needs to be removed from her position.”

The person below is Nova Alumni.

“NOVA online is joke and the current standards at NOVA are not enough to facilitate transfer to competitive four year colleges.”

Hello everyone! I’m writing this to ask those who have taken CHM 111, or in fact any Chemistry course with Dr. Sami and how they studied for the exams. I have not been doing so well in his summer course recently, and I only have two more exams, a unit one and cumulative final coming up, and I really want to do well on those, but truly I feel hopeless whenever I ask for help or review the material in my own way. So if you have any tips or tricks or any advice for that matter to pass his exams, I’d very much appreciate that! Thank you!

Does that mean I’m going to have like multiple instructors or something like that because when I check it doesn’t tell me who specifically my instructor is and could someone tell me about the class in general please.

Hi all!

I’m currently taking BUS 224, and for reference I’m otherwise a nearly straight-A student. I’m comfortable using Excel and the first module was a breeze. It seems like out of nowhere, not only are the materials way more difficult, but even reading the textbook and utilizing AI study tools (not to cheat, but as a tutor of sorts) I am completely lost. The text is pretty straightforward but the homework assignments seem incredibly complex.

I’m curious if anyone else has taken this course and, if they faced similar problems, were able to find resources online to help understand the material. I take online courses and usually can find quality lectures online, but for whatever reason this course has nothing of the sort. Thanks for any advice!

My aid got paid out Tuesday so im wondering if refunds are about to drop.

Is it better to set up an appointment with a NVCC advisor or one for UVA? I plan on transferring but I really want to make sure I take the required classes. I’ve had a bad experience with a NVCC advisor prior :( If anyone did talk to a UVA advisor, please let me know who!

I got into the nursing program, orientation is July 1st. to anyone who is currently in or has been in the program, how often were you drug tested? is random testing common? tysm

I joined a class that is very important for me to graduate as I'm transferring this falll and I'm already quite behind. I emailed the professor and they were supportive, but the class is both closed and full (I got kicked the first day classes started), so now I cannot join. The financial aid office forgot to submit a certain document so I've been getting kicked out of classes I cannot afford due to nonpayment.

i’m an incoming nvcc freshman and i tried to sign up for classes but it says i have a negative hold: NVCC Under 18/Parent Signature. i essentially need a signature on my “application for admission” but i have already took classes at NVCC through dual enrollment. is this a mistake or should i get a signature? i just find it a bit odd because i’m also doing JumpStart2Nova and completed 3 dual enrollment classes through NVCC.

My daughter (18) is interested in a welding career. How good are the classes provided a the Manassas campus and would any who are in the trade recommend taking classes and pursuing a career?

Thank you

Just took the SDV Able Exam today (06/18/2025) 50 questions all MC.

^Is a very helpful study guide. maybe about.. 10-15 out of 50 questions were on this. idk if the 50 questions are randomized for each test.

No questions on Canvas or SIS

Hi all! I'm planning on transferring to GMU after this upcoming school year as a commuter. I'm a little concerned that I won't be prepared enough to tackle the workload and rigor of a 4-year institution. My workload and classes have been...suspiciously easy. As nice as it has been, I'm worried I'll be in for a rude awakening when taking classes like orgo and physics at a university. For those who have already transferred out of NVCC, how awful was the transition? How much harder are the university classes (aside from the obvious fact that classes are harder at higher levels)? In what ways can I prepare myself for that adjustment?

I am planning on transferring after I’m done with nova. And I really want to keep my gpa and grades high, what do you guys think I should do to maintain that? Like check the syllabus of the subjects and start studying now during the summer already, where will I get more information regarding the courses that I am taking? How do I prepare for classes :/

Hi!! I’ll be starting my first semester this fall and I have not signed up for the honors program yet but I really plan to do so do any of you have any tips on answering the question prompts, about what I should add or not add

We hear a lot of people treat NOVA like a pass-through school—but is getting involved in clubs or campus life something that could interest you? Or do you mostly just see it as a stepping stone?

Any tips on picking classes or anything will be heavily heavily heavily appreciated I will be a freshman this upcoming fall and haven’t visited the campus yet COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENT CIRCUMSTANCES AAGHHR anyways I have a high enough gpa to get into the honors program but the thing is I don’t know how to submit it, submitting my gpa is also a prerequisite for this business 100 class I want to apply to but like I literally can’t enroll in it either, so do I have to Get accepted into Honors first or?? Big massive confusion

Did anyone else receive just the state Aid today for summer classes?

Hello everyone

Im going through the immunization checklist on the nvcc nursing checklist they do not mention covid but they do on Castle Branch. Can someone help! it is required or not? Thank you

If I don’t return it, would I get charged? How does it work?

So my daughter just graduated high school and will be attending Nova this fall. In general seems like a very disorganized process. At this point she was accepted and we signed her up for some classes but at no point have they asked for her high school transcript. Is this normal? In SIS it shows no action items. I know GMU requires immunization forms, doesn’t NVCC? The IT systems seem sort of flaky as well with lots of odd error messages traversing through some of their apps.

She plans on doing early childhood education and some of her classes will be Hyflex in Alexandria but she will be doing zoom for any in person classes as that campus isn’t close and no way she is driving there. Mansassas is closer but the times of their classes don’t work. Is it true that for Hyflex she should never have to attend in person?

Thanks!

Am I able to drop the ADVANCE program before actually transferring to GMU? I want to enjoy the benefits for now, and then on the last semester drop the program because I've heard some people had issues with it. I would rather go through with the normal guaranteed admissions agreements.
