Weekly Course Schedule

FAQ

1) Do I need to take any exams on a NOVA campus?

*COVID-19 Update: All four exams will be taken at home. *

You do not need to be on campus for the ACC211 classes offered through NOVA ONLINE. All assignments are submitted online via Canvas and an online learning system, McGraw-Hill's Connect. The course does require four exams. Two of the exams are taken online, open book/notes. However, two of the exams are required to be proctored (and you must earn at least a 60% on both proctored exams to pass the class). If you are in the area, you may come to a NOVA Campus Testing Center to take the exams. If you are outside the area, you may have the exams proctored. Here is information on how to obtain a proctor: http://eli.nvcc.edu/testinginfo.htm#proctor

PROCTORU: ProctorU is an online proctoring service that provides NOVA ONLINE students with the option of taking online exams for NOVA ONLINE courses at home. Each proctored exam costs students just $7.50, payable by credit or debit card, if scheduled at least 72 hours in advance. Late scheduling fees will apply to ProctorU exams scheduled less than 72 hours in advance. NOTE: Scratch Paper can NOT be used when taking the exam via ProctorU.

2) What are the specific requirements (textbooks, grading, etc.) for the ACC 211 NOVA ONLINE courses?

Please visit this site for specific ACC211 information:

https://vccs.instructure.com/courses/123428/assignments/syllabus

You have two options for materials:

1. Purchase the textbook at the NOVA ONLINE Bookstore. The looseleaf textbook comes with the Connect access code. You will use that code to log into Connect and access the assignments. $135.00
2. Purchase only Connect access (via the Connect link in Canvas). Connect access comes with an e-book. This option is acceptable if you wish to use the e-book and not have a hard copy. $125.00

3) What time does the class "meet?"

The ACC211 class is entirely online. You will set your own classwork schedule to accommodate your own personal schedule. NOVA ONLINE expects students to devote 12 hours per week to this 8-week class. Assignments are due online on a weekly basis (generally Sunday evenings, or Tuesday evenings if the semester begins on a Wednesday). Also, there are two proctored exams (see more information in FAQ #1 above).

4) What are the computer and system resources required to complete a NOVA ONLINE class?
