Apply for Financial Aid
As a veteran you may also wish to apply for financial aid to determine PELL grant eligibility.
Apply for financial aid each academic year that you wish to be considered. The FAFSA is now available as early as October 1 for the following academic year--NVCC's federal school code is 006982. One of the most important tips for getting started is to apply for financial aid early.IMPORTANT: All personal and contact information entered into the college application and FAFSA application must be exactly the same. If abbreviations are used they must be entered identically in both applications (examples: address abbreviations like St. or Ave., full name including Jr).
Virtual Advising & Registration
Once you have been accepted to NVCC, you will receive an email from Admissions with instructions on how to register for your virtual advising and registration session.
At this personal advising session you will work with your advisor to build your class schedule and register for classes.
