IMPORTANT Information on Return to Campus Timeline for Employees

May 20, 2021 / Tech Notes & Training

As the college transitions back from a remote environment to an on-site work environment for most NOVA faculty and staff, it is imperative that our IT assets (hardware systems, etc.) are able to be fully updated as they are returned to the college network. This ensures the safety of the NOVA and VCCS networks. To provide a secure and seamless transition back to on-site work, ALL returning faculty/staff who have been working off-site FULL-TIME since January 2021 MUST schedule an appointment using the link below at least 1 to 2 weeks prior to their return date. This will allow IT the time needed to make sure employee computers can connect to the network, update computers (operating systems, software, Antivirus, etc.), re-connect to all equipment, configure printing and verify that all other resources are working.

When faculty and staff report for their scheduled appointments, they must bring ALL equipment that was taken home so the IT staff can reconnect it. If faculty and staff are working during the summer session, they may make their appointment between June 7 and August 15.

Full-time employees will return to campuses and facilities in stages, beginning June 1 and ending August 16, in advance of fall classes. Each stage is separated by two to three weeks, providing time for returning employees to re-acclimate to their work environments before further expanding the on-campus population.
