Course Selection and Academic Planning
Developing Your Educational Path
Falcon Academy encourages students to approach dual enrollment as part of a carefully developed academic plan rather than simply an opportunity to accumulate college credits.
Before registering for NOVA courses, students should consider how their selected courses align with their high school graduation requirements, intended college major, future university transfer plans, and overall academic workload.
Falcon Academy’s school counseling team provides guidance to help students identify appropriate courses and establish a manageable academic schedule.
Students should also review the transfer policies of their prospective colleges and universities to determine how NOVA credits may apply toward future degree requirements.
Understanding Credit Applicability
High School Credit Recognition
Successful completion of a NOVA course does not automatically guarantee that the course will satisfy a Falcon Academy high school graduation requirement.
Students must obtain confirmation from Falcon Academy regarding the applicability of a proposed college course toward their high school academic program.
The awarding of high school credit is subject to Falcon Academy’s applicable academic policies and graduation requirements.
College Credit and Transferability
College credits earned through NOVA are recorded on the student’s official NOVA academic transcript.
The acceptance and application of these credits toward a future degree are determined by the receiving college or university.
Students should consult their prospective institutions regarding transfer credit eligibility, degree applicability, and any limitations on credits earned during high school.
