Application Period

July 20 to September 20

Entry Requirments

  • All course work must be final by the program deadline of September 20, 2020. Course work that
  • Ends after the deadline of September 20, 2020, will not count
  • has not transferred AND posted to your NOVA account from an external school Including other VCCS schools, will not count.
    • For example, you submit your GMU transcript on September 20, 2020, and your transfer credit post-September 31, your applicants would have been rejected.

Common reasons applications don't make it past the initial review for eligibility

  1. The student did not take a course listed as an entry requirement
  2. The student took a course listed as an entry requirement but never transferred the credit to NOVA via the official transfer credit process.
  3. The student had a C- or did not take a required high school level course
  4. The student never provided their high school transcript with their application.

We are still waiting on the final word for the ATI TEAS exam. Check our website for an update on July 17.

  5. Completion fo PSY 230
  6. Completion of Open elective [ BIO 150 and BIO 142 can not be used as open electives]
  7. Provide high school transcript-
    1. If your high school was in a different country you will need a course by course evaluation by either www.ece.org or www.ierf.org.
    2. All students regardless of the level of education are required to provide their high school transcripts
    3. not doing so will automatically flag your application and lead to a rejection
  8. Show that you took and passed in high school or college with a C or better [not C-]. If you took some other science course in place of Chemistry for example it is likely that it will not count.
    1. BIology

I went to check my application on the website we submit it through, and it just says “accepted”, but so does my application for last semester when I got denied, so that doesn’t seem very helpful.  So discouraged right now ?

I'm so sorry.?. I have not received anything yet. Did it just come in? I got a good night sleep and decided today is a new day. I just want to finish this semester strong and then think about what to do next. Sending virtual hugs.

If you have to do it online, I recommend Professor Miller.  I had her for 142 and I learned so much.  We did a lot of discussions on pathology with systems.  She is tough, but she had us do a lot of critical thinking and I learned so much more and my test scores went up. Her study strategies I incorporated into other classes.  I really retained what I learned.

Yes, 12:31 it came in. This is my second time applying. I have 3/4 coreqs (currently taking the 4th) and all A's in every class. This is so disappointing.

Hey, 

I took my Bio 141 with professor Lisa Williams and Bio 142 With Professor Raji. They are both very good professors and give study guides for their exams.
