The Northern Virginia Community College PATHWAY to Baccalaureate Program offers a supportive environment to facilitate the successful transition, retention, graduation and transfer of participating Seniors from Chantilly through NVCC and on to a university of the student's choice.
Students accepted into the PATHWAY program are provided with one-on-one academic and career counseling sessions with college counselors, opportunities to participate in selected social and cultural events at NVCC, free workshops on financial aid and other topics, and priority course selection and registration at NVCC during the Spring of their Senior year.
Admission to the PATHWAY to Baccalaureate Program is selective and open to high school seniors at Chantilly. Online applications are due no later than November 15, 2020.
October 1, 2020 – Pathway online application opens
November 15, 2020 – Pathway application priority deadline
January 2021 - All applicants will be notified of a decision on their Pathway application via personal email.
Note: Students who have taken or are currently taking NVCC Dual Enrollment (DE) classes will already have a NOVA student account.
If students applied for DE classes and did not enroll in courses, they may already have a NOVA student account. They should reapply to NOVA using the same EMPL ID they were issued upon completion of the NOVA application to reactivate their account.
If a student is currently enrolled in DE classes and needs assistance accessing their MyNOVA account, they should contact the NOVA IT Helpdesk at 703-426-4141.
