NOVACONNECT TELEPHONE ENROLLMENT
Touchtone Telephone Enrollment is also available for students who
want to enroll, add, drop, and swap classes over the telephone.
However, you may encounter a busy signal the first couple of days
of enrollment due to heavy usage. Please don’t be discouraged—call
back. If possible, use the NovaConnect Web option to enroll at http://www.nvcc.edu/novaconnect/.
To access NovaConnect Telephone, call 703-323-3770 or 703-330-3770
(from Prince William County). Listen carefully to the instructions.
Use the touchtone telephone “#” and “*”
keys. Although the system will allow you sufficient time to enter
each request, a long pause may disconnect your call. Have the necessary
enrollment information in front of you when you call. It
is your responsibility to drop any classes that you do not plan
to attend.
HOLD ON RECORDS (SERVICE INDICATORS)
If you have a Service Indicator (Hold) on your record, it will
prevent you from enrolling. The hold will show on the Welcome
page of NovaConnect Web. The message will indicate the office
that placed the hold. Please contact the office that placed the
hold or contact the College Call Center at 703-323-3000.
HAVING TROUBLE ENROLLING
If you are having trouble enrolling, call the IT Help Desk at 703-426-4141
or the College Call Center at 703-323-3000.
COUNSELING / BASIC ASSESSMENTS / PLACEMENT TESTS
You are urged to see an NVCC counselor or faculty advisor for appropriate
course selection before you enroll in classes. Basic skills assessment
testing in reading, writing, and math may be required. Some courses
require specific placement tests before you can enroll. Your
test results must be entered by the Testing Center before you
can enroll in the class. Please refer to the General
Information section of the Schedule of Classes or contact
the Student Services Center or Testing Center at any campus for
details.
