NOVA cares about our students’ emotional and physical wellbeing, as well as their academic success. 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 Office of Wellness and Mental Health if you are seeking resources and support or if you are worried about a friend or classmate. If you or someone you know is facing challenges securing food or safe housing, contact NOVA’s Financial Stability and Advocacy Center to learn more about emergency aid, community support, and available resources.
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.
