SPRING 2022
  The ASC SEAS workshops have been put on hold
due to staffing shortages.

Our Fall 2021 workshops will be offered three times weekly: Wednesdays at 2:00 pm, Thursdays at 5:30 pm, and Fridays at 12:00 pm.

All workshops are virtual and open to all NOVA students.

You will need to join our SEAS Canvas course to access our workshops and to view recordings of past workshops. Click here to join.

Fall 2021

CLICK HERE for a description of all of our workshops.

And if these days and times don’t fit into your schedule either, we hope you will take advantage of academic coaching. Our coaches will meet with you one-on-one to provide information and assistance tailor made for your needs!

If you require an ADA accommodation to participate in a session, please contact Gwen McCrea at gmccrea@nvcc.edu at least one week prior to the session.
