JumpStart2NOVA Application Extended thru Monday at 8 a.m.

April 29, 2022 / Our Nighthawks

There is still room in “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, with no tuition cost! Courses are open to public, private and home school seniors residing in NOVA’s service region (the City of Alexandria, Arlington County, City of Falls Church, Fairfax City, Fairfax County, Loudoun County, City of Manassas, City of Manassas Park and Prince William County).

All classes will be offered through NOVA Online and will run from 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 transferrable and satisfy lower-division general education requirements at any Virginia public institution of higher education.

The application has been extended to 8 a.m. Monday, May 2. 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.

Please pass this message on to colleagues and community members who may know graduating high school seniors looking to get a jump start on their NOVA journey!
