JumpStart2NOVA Application Open Now through April 29

NOVA is pleased to announce “JumpStart2NOVA” for summer 2022! Our award-winning JumpStart program returns this summer with a new focus, helping students get started on their NOVA journey. Qualified seniors graduating this spring who are considering coming to NOVA after high school may take one 3-credit course and our 1-credit College Success Skills course, SDV 100, at no tuition! Courses are open to public, private, and home school seniors residing in NOVA’s service region.

All classes will be offered through NOVA Online and run May 31 through August 8. Students are required to pay for textbooks or other course materials. Courses have been selected based on their usability in NOVA degrees and their status as part of the Uniform Certificate of General Studies (UCGS). The UCGS is a two-year college program in which all courses are transferable and satisfy lower-division general education requirements at any Virginia public institution of higher education.

The application process is now open and will close at 5 p.m. on April 29. First-time NOVA students will need to apply to NOVA and create an account in “nvcc.dualenroll.com” to request their “Jumpstart2NOVA” course. Current dual enrollment students can skip the NOVA application and go straight to “nvcc.dualenroll.com,” selecting term “JumpStart2NOVA 2022”. All students will be required to upload a high school/homeschool transcript and any qualifying test scores if they do not have a 3.0 GPA.
