Important Updates: NOVA-Branded Goods and Promotional Items

Is your department looking for NOVA-branded items to use as promotional items? Things like lanyards, pens, water bottles, stickers, etc.?

If you answered yes, good news! NOVA Auxiliary Services has developed a centralized means to request and obtain these items. The streamlined process will standardize NOVA-branded promotional items and save the College money by allowing for larger purchasing quantities. The Branded Goods and Promotional Items application on NOVAnet provides access to official NOVA-branded merchandise for use in College events and promotions. From browsing the latest products to making a new item request, the entire process is now at your fingertips! Users also can choose whether they’d like to pick up their items at Pender 3 or have them delivered to their work location.

Within the NOVAnet application, you can view available inventory, determine what items you’d like to use for your official event or promotion and request items directly through the app. Please note: The link above directs users to a Microsoft Power App. When accessing a Microsoft Power App for the first time, users may need to select “Allow” when prompted for permissions. These prompts enhance security and ensure proper functionality. If you encounter them, granting the necessary permissions ensures a seamless experience.

New Items
To request new, NOVA-branded promotional items, please click the “Request New Item” button on the homepage of the catalog (see screenshot below) and complete the form. For the question — “Do you have appropriate department funding available if necessary?” — be sure to select “Yes” if that is the case.

All items listed are for use in official College events and promotions, not for personal use. Requests must be approved by the employee’s immediate supervisor; product confirmation, pricing and chargeback will be handled outside of the NOVAnet application. NOVA Auxiliary Services will ensure that all new orders comply with eVA procurement rules and NOVA branding requirements.

Spring/Summer Cleanout
If you have promotional items stored from past years — especially if they’re branded with outdated graphics and logos — please reach out to Rob Johnson at ROJohnson@nvcc.edu. NOVA Auxiliary Services will collect these items and determine if they are appropriate for the catalog or need another disposition.
