Jolita Rector IT Instructor
I began my career as a designer of broadcast graphics
over 20 years ago. And for more than ffeen years, I
have used Adobe Photoshop and Afer Efects along
with many other applications that are graphic and non-graphic related. When
the opportunity came about to teach these two applications, I was hesitant at
frst but I challenged myself to take the plunge. Tat was fve years ago and I am
still a bit nervous before each class but thats because each class is a fresh new
experience. I walk into each class like its my frst time because the challenge of
getting new users, novices, and working professionals to understand and use
these applications is gratifying.
Jolita is an excellent instructor, very patient!

Rich Yuras Rider Coach describes
his experiences of riding a motorcycle for
44 years:
I can say that riding has been nothing but
fun, excitement, and enjoyment. During my
motorcycle travels, Ive had the opportunity to meet many interesting
people, some of them expressing a wish that they could learn how to
ride. Now, I can assist those individuals who always wanted to ride.
As a rider coach, I have a major responsibility and commitment to the
students, their families and the community to ensure that the students
have the knowledge and repeatedly demonstrate the skills necessary
to become a safe and responsible novice rider. One of my reasons
for becoming a rider coach is seeing the excitement that the students
display as they fulfll their dream of becoming a motorcyclist.

Betsy Lindeman Wong ESL Instructor
Teaching English language learners is like putting the pieces
together in a puzzle. Ive taught ESL to adults for more than 20
years at workplace sites, in community and family literacy
programs, to college students, and even to hotel and restaurant trainees in France and
every day the experience is as rich and colorful as the learners. How can I help students
get the language they need to open doors? Tis moving target keeps me going, whether Im
teaching a class, developing curricula, or writing a textbook (the latest is Project Success,
Pearson Longman, 2014). My adventure of the moment combines digital tools with hybrid
learning to help pronunciation students reach their goals in a dynamic, self-directed manner.
ESLA 1946 makes its debut Summer 2014 and I cant wait to embark on a new journey!

registration. You can submit these forms in person, by mail, or fax 703323
3399; but we must have the original copy of the purchase order or authorization
to process your payment. If the original copy of this form is not submitted with
your registration, please mail it to:
Workforce Development CE 202, Attention: Yookie Lee

You are responsible for full tuition payment if the third party does not pay. You
cannot register using one form of payment and switch to third party payment
at a later date.
Senior Citizen Enrollment Policy
Te Virginia Senior Citizens Higher Education Act of 1974 and amendments
allow senior citizens to take courses at no charge under certain circumstances.
Before the beginning of the semester in which you wish to enroll, you must
have (1) reached the age of sixty and (2) had legal domicile in Virginia for
one year. Tuition-paying students are accommodated in courses before senior
citizens are enrolled. If you apply for free tuition AFTER you register and pay
for a course, you are not eligible for a refund for that course. You are required
to pay for course materials such as books and supplies. Te College reserves the
right to cancel any course, and you are limited to three tuition-free courses per
semester.
If you wish to take a Workforce Development course, you must apply to the
college to get a student ID number, and come in person to campus to present
proof of age and fll out a Senior Citizen Certifcation of Eligibility for Free
Tuition form, which may be obtained from the WDD Ofce on any campus.
A new form must be completed in person each semester. Once the necessary
paperwork is on fle, you must call to determine if space is available and the
course is still open. For courses that begin in the morning or afernoon, you
must call between 2:00 and 5:00 pm the day prior to the course start date;
for evening courses, you must call between 2:00 and 5:00 pm the day the
course begins. Please call the Workforce Development Ofce on the campus
ofering the course you wish to attend. To guarantee a place in a course,
payment is required.
Delays & Closures
Closures: If NOVA is closed, all classes and activities are cancelled, including
non-credit Workforce Development classes and seminars. Tis also applies to
classes held at of-campus sites (such as CED-Pitney Bowes, Reston Center, and
Manassas Innovation Park).
Morning Delays: If NOVA opens late due to bad weather, your WD class could
be impacted. We determine whether to hold class as follows:
If you are taking a Workforce Development class (except for ESL see below)
and the college is not open when your class is scheduled to begin, your class
will not meet and will be rescheduled. For example, if your class begins at 10
am and the college opens at 10:30 am, your class will not meet and will be
rescheduled. We will contact you by phone or e-mail.
If you are taking an ESL class with the WD ACLI department, we follow the
NOVA criteria for delayed openings. Tis means that if your class would
have started prior to the opening time and it will continue at least 45 minutes
afer the opening time, the class will be held. For example, if your class
begins at 9:00 am and ends at 12:15 pm, and NOVA opens at 10:30 am, your
class will begin at 10:30 am and end at 12:15 pm.
Evening Closures: If NOVA cancels evening classes and activities, all WD
classes scheduled for that evening are cancelled. If you are scheduled to attend
a NOVA class held at a non-NOVA location, such as a local high school, we
adhere to the decision made by that location. For example, if your NOVA class
meets at Potomac Falls High School, the class will not meet if Loudoun County
Public Schools announces a closure.
You can receive emergency and college closing messages on your mobile device
by signing up for NovaAlert at http://alert.nvcc.edu.
Course Changes, Cancellations & Refunds
Please make sure your contact information is up to date. Tis will enable us
to promptly notify you should there be a change or course cancellation. If we
cancel a course, we will gladly transfer you to another or send you a full refund.
Student Requested Course Changes
To change classes or transfer to another section of a course, call the WDD
Ofce at that campus a minimum of 4 calendar days before the course start
date.
Enrollment Cancellation with Full Refund
E-mail your request to wddrefunds@nvcc.edu at least 4 calendar days prior to
the frst class session. We will gladly refund your tuition afer we receive your
written request. A refund check will be sent to your mailing address within 2
4 weeks. Refund requests for Bundle & Save courses must be made at least 4
days prior to the frst class session of the frst course in the bundle.
Motorcycle Courses: Refund requests require a two-week notice; see page 81.
ACLI ESL Courses: Refund requests must be made within 7 days of the frst
scheduled class session; see page 85.
American Heart Assoc. Courses: Refund requests require 4 business days

Refunds for Veterans eligible under Title 38 of the U.S. Code are processed in
accordance with the provision of Title 38. NOVA refunds institutional charges
to veterans who fail to enter, withdraw or are discontinued prior to completion
of a course, subject to limitations set in V.A. Regulation 14254(C)(13). Refunds
are prorated according to the number of instructional days remaining in the
