Each underclass student will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Your high school counselor will provide your current transcript, however, you may upload additional documentation for enrollment purposes such as any test scores, a letter of recommendation from a teacher, or a personal statement to support your application.
Please make sure to contact your school counselor if you have questions in regard to the registration process, course requested or if you are no longer interested in taking a Dual Enrolled Course.
APS/NOVA Dual Enrollment Troubleshooting Tips.
My application to NOVA didn’t go through, shows error message:
It is best to use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for the application. If the application continues to not load or the application cannot be viewed using the browser, close the application. Go to the browser’s settings and clear all caches and cookies. Close the browser and open up a fresh browser. Allow the browser to take some time to upload all information. It may take up a few minutes. Preferably complete application on laptop rather than on phone.
If issue persists contact the Office of Dual Enrollment at dualenrollment@nvcc.edu and provide a detailed summary of the inquiry. Provided the applicant’s full and legal name, DOB, district and high school name.
I already applied to NOVA, I don’t know my NOVA ID (EMPLID):
Retrieve your NOVA ID by clicking Forgot Password here to reset your NOVA account and view your ID# https://www.nvcc.edu/academic-tools/index.html
Do I have to provide my parent’s email/phone number:
A parent/legal guardian consent is required to allow students to register for dual enrollment courses. Parents/legal guardians must check their email account or text message to acknowledge their consent.
I am taking a course at my home school and at career center how do I register for both:
Select your home high school and select your courses using the drop down menu. All courses available will show up under student account whether course is offered at home school or the Arlington Career Center.
My course doesn’t show up on the pull down menu:
If a course is not listed in the drop down menu it may not be offered in APS any longer, remember DE courses are contingent on teacher availability. Courses may also have a different name at NOVA than at your home school. Please refer to APS DE Course Offerings for current offerings and name comparisons.
I have completed both my NOVA application and my dualenroll.com registration, what happens next:
NOVA will cross check students documents along with eligibility requirements for each course. Students will receive an email if they are not eligible for the course or if additional documentation if required to prove eligibility. Students will be enrolled in course closer to course start date in September.
