During your time at NOVA, you may experience challenges including struggles with academics, finances, or your personal well-being. NOVA has support resources available. Please visit the NOVACares Office website if you are seeking resources and support or if you are worried about a friend or classmate.
Students receiving financial aid are expected to attend and complete all classes. Withdrawing from a class can dramatically impact your financial aid status and may require repayment. To understand the impact of withdrawing from a course, please review pages 13-17 of the Financial Aid Handbook.
Information on what to do in case of an emergency can be found on NOVA’s Office of Emergency Planning and Management (OEPM) website.
Any student who faces challenges securing food or safe housing and believes that this may affect their performance in the course is urged to contact the NOVA Online Director of Student Services, Cynthia Pascal (cpascal@nvcc.edu) or any Dean of Students to learn more about community support and available resources.
