NOVA offers free classes to HS graduates

Northern Virginia Community College is offering free summer classes for graduating seniors who are considering enrolling in NOVA.

The JumpStart2NOVA program allows high school graduates to take one three-credit course and NOVA’s one-credit College Success Skills course with no tuition cost.

Twelve three-credit courses are available, including art appreciation, quantitative reasoning, principles of psychology, and others. Some courses require students to pay for instructional materials, and some do not.

The courses are online and asynchronous. The courses start May 31 and end on Aug. 8.

The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on April 29. Applicants will be required to upload a high school transcript and any qualifying test scores if they do not have a 3.0 grade point average.
