20-21 Dual Enrollment Registration Update

Wolverine Community,

  • If your child is taking a West Potomac Dual Enrollment class for the 20-21 school year, please review this important update.  The list of West Potomac HS, Academy courses, and online campus Dual Enrollment classes is at the bottom of this email.  
  • Due to the school closure, NOVA has updated their process for dual enrollment registration.  Please follow the below instructions if you have registered to take a Dual Enrollment course for the 2020-2021 academic school year. 

1. Intent to Register for a Dual Enrollment Course

NOVA has collaborated with Dualenroll.com to automate the dual enrollment registration process.  To register you will first need to apply to NOVA. Please write down your NOVA Emplid ID (you will receive this once you apply to NOVA), you will need the Emplid ID to register for your dual enrollment class. 

After creating an account with NOVA you will need to create a DualEnroll.com account. Once you select your high school, the DE class offerings will populate for you to select. The system then allows virtual communication to be shared back and forth between NOVA and the high school, ensuring all the necessary items are needed to register. 


2. Placement Testing

During the 2020 COVID-19 emergency, NOVA has temporarily approved Dual Enrollment Student Admissions. This measure adds flexibility to use additional measures for dual enrollment admission and placement. The policy may be used only for admission and placement for the 20-21 school year.

Students can use PSAT, SAT and ACT scores for placement for this fall. They can also use a 3.0 GPA. Or they can take the VPT practice tests. Only one placement is required.

Details for Dual Enrollment Placement can be found here: https://www.nvcc.edu/dual-enrollment/fall-2020-policy.html
