New students must apply for admission to the College prior to registering for classes. Click here for the Application for Admission. If you prefer, you may fill out the application online at https://apply.vccs.edu/app/app.htm.

(If it has been more than three years since you have taken classes at NVCC, you will need to submit a new application to update your records before attempting to register.)

You have several ways to register:

• Online: http://www.nvcc.edu/annandale/continuing. Use our website to select courses, and complete the registration and payment process online.
• Mail Registration: Complete and mail the registration form, along with a check or money order (payable to "NVCC") to Northern Virginia Community College, Office of Continuing Education, 8333 Little River Tnpk., Annandale, VA 22003-3796.
• Telephone Registration: (703) 323-3168. Continuing Education staff will be available to accept registration requests Monday – Thursday, 8:30 a.m. – 7:45 p.m. and Fridays, 8:30 a.m. - 4:45 p.m.
• In-Person Registration (Walk-in): You may register in person at the Office of Continuing Education located in Richard J. Ernst Community Cultural Center (CE), Annandale Campus, Room CE 202, Monday – Thursday from 8:30 a.m. – 7:45 p.m. and on Fridays from 8:30 a.m. – 4:45 p.m.

Application for Admission: If you have never taken a credit or non-credit class at Northern Virginia Community College, you must first complete the VCCS Application for Admission. In this process, you will be assigned a number that will function as your Student ID for all future transactions with the college. There are two ways to complete this application. You may fill out the application online at http://www.nvcc.edu, or if you prefer, you can complete the application form and submit it to the Continuing Education Office in CE 202. In either case, this must be done before registering for any CE class. If you mail an application to our office, please confirm the processing of your application before attempting to register on the Web.

Registration: Registration is continuous from December 1st throughout the Spring Semester. To avoid being inconvenienced, register and pay for your course as soon as possible prior to the start of the class you wish to take. Registering early may also prevent the disappointment of a cancelled or closed class.

Web Registration: You may register for most Continuing Education classes on the web. This requires the use of your Student ID. If you do not know your ID number, go to http://www.nvcc.edu, click on the NovaConnect button (upper right), and follow the directions under For Students, Find My ID/Password. Once you have your Student ID you can go directly to the Annandale Campus Continuing Education website, http://www.nvcc.edu/annandale/continuing, click on Spring 2006 under Continuing Education Classes and then click on the course title of your choice. You may register for that course by filling out the form linked to this site. When submitted, the form will be processed by CE Office Staff and your credit card payment information will be sent directly to the Annandale Campus Business Office. Your birth date will be used for registration purposes only.

To register in person, by mail, fax or telephone, see the directions above.

Payment
Payment for Continuing Education courses is due at the time of registration. If you attend a class without paying you will be held financially responsible for the tuition. Payment can be made by using your credit card on the Web or by paying with check or cash at the Annandale Campus Business Office during their regular hours of operation. They are located in CG 220. Their normal business hours are 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. They can be reached at (703) 323-3132. If this is inconvenient for you, you may also mail in a check with your registration form or leave your payment with the Continuing Education Staff, and we will transfer it to the Business Office for processing. Cash payments require exact change.

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis and remains open until the class maximum is met. In the event a class is completely full, contact the CE Office at (703) 323-3168 for assistance. Students are not allowed to audit or sit in classes for which they have not paid.

Questions About Classes
If you have questions about Continuing Education classes, please call us at (703) 323-3168 or TDD# (703) 323-3744, before you register.

Third Party Payment
If a student's tuition is to be paid by a third party (employer, government agency, foreign embassy, etc.), the student must submit a letter of authorization or purchase order from the third party at the time of registration, with the understanding that the student accepts responsibility for full payment of the tuition if the third party does not. This information may be submitted in person, by mail or by fax. A student may not register using one form of payment and then switch to third party payment for that class at a later date.

Refunds and Cancelled Classes
You will receive prompt notification of course changes and cancellations by telephone. Please make sure that we have up-to-date contact information for you in our system. In the unlikely event that your course is cancelled, you will automatically receive a full refund. If you are unable to attend a course that has not been cancelled, you are eligible to receive a full refund only if you call our office a minimum of 4 days before the starting date of the first scheduled class meeting. There will be no refund after this time. Refunds for payments made in person using cash or check will be processed through Richmond. A check will be sent to your mailing address within four to six weeks. Refunds for credit card payments made over the web should appear on your credit card statement.

Accommodations for Persons with Disabilities
Northern Virginia Community College is committed to providing an accessible education and a supportive learning environment for all students. Students with disabilities who require accommodation for equal access to Continuing Education courses must register with a Disability Services Counselor in CG 211 and provide current documentation. Refer to the Services For Students With Disabilities booklet (available in CG 211) for more information.

Senior Citizens' Registration
Residents of Virginia who are 60 years of age or older are welcome to participate tuition-free in most non-credit courses, on a space-available basis as determined by the College. Such students are limited to three courses per semester including any credit course(s) that they may be auditing. Senior Citizens must apply to the college (if they have never taken a course here) and come in person to the Continuing Education Office to present proof of age and fill out a Senior Citizen Certification of Eligibility for Free Tuition form. Once the necessary paperwork has been submitted, seniors must call (703) 323-3168 one working day before the class meets to determine if space is available. In courses with limited space and large demand, the order in which telephone calls are received on that day determines admission to the course. To guarantee a place in a class, payment is required. A senior who has already made payment for a particular course may not reverse that registration to free tuition at a later time.

Parking and Room Location
All students attending classes on the Annandale Campus must now pay for parking. CE students will have the choice of paying $1/hr. (cash only - enter on the lower level of the parking garage), or purchasing a semester permit for $55.00. The permit allows you to park in any of the Student (B) Lots on campus. If you wish to purchase a semester parking permit, you can do so using the College website, https://parking.nvcc.edu, or purchase it directly from the Parking Services Office in CG 226. If you have questions, Parking Services can be reached at (703) 323-4267. Parking permits are not required for the Center for Employee Development (CED).

To find the building and room number of your class, please consult the maps located on page , or call our office at (703) 323-3168. A location of "CED" means that your class will be held at the Center for Employee Development, 7630 Little River Tnpk., 5th or 6th floor, Annandale, VA. The phone number for that site is (703) 323-3102. Click here for the CED map.
