If you still have co-requisite courses left to take, we recommend taking them over the Spring 2020 and Summer 2020 semesters. This will help reduce your course load. Students can use that extra time to take transfer oriented courses and/or participate in co-enrollment programs. GMU is very popular however ODU also has an excellent one too.

You can also check out our free tutoring services for nursing students, https://www.nvcc.edu/medical/tutoring/resources.html and familiarize yourself with resources available on our campus.

Thank you! This helps a lot, I have microbio and two mason core classes left so I’ll be taking them Spring/Summer to start Fall co-enrollment courses. Fingers crossed!

If you are doing mason co-enrollment, they won't let you start that until your second semester in the NOVA nursing program. If you are doing Mason Advance than its a little different.

As soon as I find out if I’m in the NOVA nursing program for Spring 2020, I’m going to apply for Mason’s co-enrollment program that begins Fall 2020. I, unfortunately, had too many transfer credits from my previous university to do the Advance program. I haven’t been able to talk to any students in the co-enrollment through NOVA/Mason and I’ve been wondering what the workload would be like?

The Mason co-enrollment has a sample schedule to give you an idea. Students report that it puts a strain on them to do the program, but that if you've done your co-requisites ahead of time you can do it.

If you start the NOVA nursing program fall 2020, you would apply and then start your first semester with Mason Spring 2021.

Mason tends to send representatives your first semester to talk about and recruit eligible students for the co-enrollment program.

Note that the sample schedule has not been updated to the new NSG curriculum.

Yes and the MEC commented again and said he/she checked and now it’s the 28th the earliest. Read back a page.

There were some delays in processing and they don't expect letters/emails to go out until the week of the 28th. However, it could be before assuming everything lines up and gets done.
