Welcome to everyone starting a Twelve or Eight week class today!

Instructors make courses available in Blackboard on the course start date, or sometimes a few days in advance. If your course is not available in blackboard, double check your course enrolling in NOVA Connect and check back throughout the day! While you wait, check out the First Day of Class Reminders provided by NOVA Online Blogger, Rebecca and be aware of your Critical Course Deadlines.
