| COLLEGE SUCCESS SKILLS/STUDENT DEVELOPMENT COURSE
_________________________________________________
An orientation program provides you with the opportunity to
learn skills and information that will help you to be successful
at NVCC. The orientation program may begin weeks before registration
when you meet with a counselor for an interview to select a major.
In this interview, career interests and educational goals are
explored. It will be determined at this time if there is a need
for additional information or tests. Your application for admission
to a specific curriculum will be evaluated, and the first semester's
courses planned.
A one-credit student development (SDV) course,
College Success Skills, designed to help you succeed in college
is required
for first-time NVCC College students. NVCC students must
take SDV
100 or another SDV course before enrolling for their 16th semester
hour at the College. All SDV courses cover topics related to
academic success, responsible decision making, and college
information. Some sections address additional topics and
some are intended
for students in specific programs. The Extended Learning Institute
(ELI) also has a SDV course available for those who cannot
attend a campus-based section.
