JumpStart is Back at NOVA!

The JumpStart program will be returning to NOVA this summer! Last summer, graduating seniors were invited to take two free college courses at NOVA. The program will be back this year with additional courses available! Once again, graduating seniors with a 3.0 GPA from NOVA’s partner schools will be eligible to take two free courses at NOVA during the summer semester.

The application for this program will open on April 5 and be due by April 30. Courses can be selected from a pre-approved list which includes ART 101 History and Appreciation of Art I, CST 110 Introduction to Communication, ECO 201 Principles of Macroeconomics, ENG 111 College Composition I, HIS 102 History of Western Civilization II, ITE 115 Introduction to Computer Applications and Concepts, MTH 154 Quantitative Reasoning, PLS 135 American National Politics, PHI 220 Ethics, and PSY 200 Principles of Psychology. The courses will be offered online, in a 10-week semester format and will run from June 1 to August 9 and will all be offered via online asynchronous instruction.

This program provides a wonderful opportunity for high school students to get a start on their college career and complete general education requirements. We are thrilled to be able to offer this program again. If you have any additional questions about the program or courses, please feel free to reach out to dualenrollment@nvcc.edu.
