February 24, 2025 / General NOVA News

Thanks to the Computer Information Systems office, Student Advisement Reports in SIS have gotten a winter upgrade. Now, students in expired catalogs will see their advisement report is Not Satisfied, signaling the need to update their program of study catalog year.

Who is affected?

  • Students in the 2017-18 catalog or earlier will see this note in their advisement report.
  • Miss the message or have questions? Faculty/staff can email academics@nvcc.edu. (Please do not provide this address for students to email).

Why it matters:

  • Students must graduate within seven years of their catalog’s publication.

Other students:

  • Students in catalog years 2018-19 through 2024-25 will see a newly added note indicating when their catalog year will expire. See the NOVA Catalog “What’s New” page for a full list of when catalog years expire. 

**Urgent Note for 2018-19 Catalog Students:

  • Complete program requirements and apply for graduation this spring (March 1 deadline) or summer (June 1 deadline) to stay within the seven-year limit. Students unable to complete within this timeframe should be moved to a more recent catalog year.
