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.
