Transfer VA Curricular Changes
Due to the statewide Transfer VA initiative, there have been many changes to NOVA courses since last year. We have created a blog to track these curricular changes and the programs they impact. Visit our blog at https://blogs.nvcc.edu/academic-affairs.
Changes to the General Education Electives
- Because there are multiple changes in each category, please make sure to revisit the General Education Electives list prior to course selection.
- A new category has been added: Communication, Languages, Studio Art, and Technology Electives .
- The humanities/fine arts electives include separate categories titled Art, Humanities, and Literature. Students in some programs are now required to select two courses from two different categories.
