Senior Registration Posted on January 5, 2015January 8, 2015 From Peggy: I’ve been asked to share info from last semester. First, here’s the official NOVA page of instructions and links: Senior citizen info: http://www.nvcc.edu/future-students/admissions/senior-citizens/ Step-by-Step registration procedures: http://www.nvcc.edu/future-students/admissions/senior-citizens/registration.htmls Second: As soon as possible, whether online or in-person, make sure you know your 7-digit student id. Mine looks like 066xxx89, with the x’s being numbers. Then make sure you know your password and that it’s working, as they make you change it every so many months. AND, if you do change it, there’s a little lag time before the system lets you use it to sign in, so I recommend you do any updating some hours before you need it. When you register for your classes, which you do just before completing the senior tuition waiver form, I recommend always starting through MYNOVA. I find when you try to do different tasks inside the applications, things are less user friendly, so if you run into a problem, I suggest you exit and then reenter through MY NOVA. [Additional note: I forgot to add there is another user ID that you use for MY NOVA. Mine looks like mharrison00xx (with the X’s being numbers). ] Here’s a link to instructions on how to find your NOVA “username”: http://www.nvcc.edu/current-students/technology/novaconnect/tutorials/id/index.html Here’s a link to instructions on changing your password or resetting if you’ve forgotten your password: http://www.nvcc.edu/current-students/technology/novaconnect/tutorials/pw/index.html Also, the telephone help desk is pretty good for problems with the system. The phone number is 703.426.4141, and here’s a link to more info: http://www.nvcc.edu/about-nova/directories–offices/administrative-offices/ithd/index.html Good luck!!! Peggy Harrison Tip from last semester: From Barbara Lowrey (I personally did not experience this problem, but several did.) I went first, and it took me over half an hour to get through the process. I got hung up on the senior tuition waiver form. The hang up was the “number of credits” field. The sample above the box showed “3 crs” and so I typed in “1 cr”. It would only show “1” When I submitted the form, it said the entry was invalid. You must enter the credits as a two digit number. It took me over 15 minutes to figure this out–NO HELP from the screen. So type in “01” and you are good to go. It may want you to upload a photo ID. I made a pdf of my drivers license with my home printer. However, I understand others were able to successfully do the senior tuition waiver form without uploading the photo ID. Info from last semester: The “ Senior Tuition Waiver Form” mentioned in your email is called the “Senior Citizen Enrollment Tuition Waiver Form” on the instruction sheet (attached).
