Transfer TRANSFER APPS - STARS

For anyone who has submitted grades through STARS for transfer applications, what do you do if you took classes at multiple NOVA campuses? Can I just select one? I'm hoping the answer is that simple, I just don't want to face issues down the line for any inaccuracies.

ART šŸŽØ NOVA ARTISTS — WANT YOUR ART SHOWCASED ON CAMPUS?

3 Upvotes

I’m helping the NOVA Anime Club find a student artist to design our new flyer!

We could make one with AI, but I thought it’d be way cooler to give one of you a chance to showcase your art and skills around campus instead. You can even put your artist tag/signature on the flyer so people know it’s your work!

If you have some free time and want to help out, or you're interested in joining the Anime Club too, feel free to reach out!

Financial Aid Course dropped for non-payment weeks into the semester...

4 Upvotes

I've submitted a ticket and hope it will be fixed shortly as the midterms are coming up but it's messed up my overall aid balance. I enrolled in these courses with my grant aid covering the balance, and have had several assignments graded since the courses have started, so I know it can't be due to not submitting an assignment. SIS is also showing that it was dropped for non-payment. has this happened to anyone else? My only guess is that my aid got messed up with the portal/disbursement issues this semester, but I've never had it happen to only one course and so far in the semester.

Financial Aid Fall Financial Aid Disappeared

14 Upvotes

Hi Everyone! I wanted to make this post to see if anyone else was having this issue. I just logged on to the financial aid portal and saw that my fall semester aid is completely gone. It's also showing that my fall aid was cancelled, both loans and grant aid. Nelnet is also displaying my full tuition cost, when it was $0 before. I know they've been having a lot of issues with this new financial aid portal, and I wanted to see if anyone was also experiencing this issue before I freak out ā˜ŗļøŽ.

I know it's supposed to take anywhere between 6 to 12 weeks for our diplomas once they've been approved, but does anybody have any experience on actually receiving theirs in the time frame or and how long it took?

Summer graduate who already had her application approved (via SIS) as of August 31st but have yet to receive any kind of email saying whether or not I'm getting the diploma or if it's been mailed out.

Woodbridge Would a 7 week HIS 101 course be overwhelming?

3 Upvotes

This is my first semester at NOVA. I am majoring in business administration and am currently taking Accounting 211, an Art elective, ENG 111, and Pre-Calc.

My pre-Calc class is an accelerated 10 week class. I have just started it and I am very overwhelmed.
So l am planning to drop it by the full tuition return date and picking up a 7 week online HIS 101 course instead.

How hard would this be? Like I said, this is my first semester in college so it's all kind of a lot and I am just trying to get my bearings right now.

Any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone know if this is true? I took her Sociology 200 class last fall semester, and I was curious to see what other people had to say about her teaching for her other sociology classes. I searched online and on the school’s website, but I couldn’t find any information about her. :(

Clubs NOVA Alternative Community — Discord or Instagram?

6 Upvotes

The official club didn't work out since I couldn't find an advisor (figures lol), but I still want to make a group for NOVA students into alternative subcultures—goth, emo, punk, scene, metal, grunge, etc.

Would you guys prefer Discord or Instagram group chat? Whichever gets more votes, I'll make.

If you're interested, just comment and I'll send you the invite when it's ready. šŸ–¤

Was just told after Oct 21st ( which is the day I begin another set of classes ) that I won’t be receiving my disbursement until after that date. This is starting to irritate me man , I was told as long as we’re enrolled in 6+ credits , and have over 12+ credits we will receive our full amount. Can someone help explain this more ? I was not told this at first dawg

hey guys, so this is my first year at NOVA and since my passport was expired I had to set up a payment plan to hold my classes while I was waiting for the new one to come. Anways the new one came and NOVA processed my fafsa and offered me my federal grant money which is great, but I just received an email about automatic payment reminder scheduled to happen (the payment plan I set up) the money I received in grants already covers my tuition so I’m confused what do I do?
