NOVA Semester Breaks

I was wondering, does anybody know if and how long of a break the NOVA campus gives in between semesters? Are there any current students out there who can give a tentative schedule of when classes specifically end/start for each semester? Is there an extensive break for Christmas, etc? I am curious because it would be nice to plan a trip or two during the breaks if we get one. Thanks!

You get a week between summer semester and the fall. One or two days for Thanksgiving. About a week and a half for Christmas and New Years. A week in April for spring break and a few days before the summer semester starts. You'll definitely have the opportunity to take a few trips over breaks. I think pretty much everyone in my class has gone somewhere at least one of the breaks. In addition to those breaks, you also get off about a week in October for the ASA conference and 5 days or so off in April for the AAAA conference.

Thanks, that's a lot of help. Is it wrong to assume that both campuses and/or 1st and 2nd years are on the same break schedule? The reason I ask is because I want to know if you could let me know the exact week that you will be getting off between summer and fall. I have already booked tickets for somewhere in Aug (before I got accepted) and I need to know whether or not I need to change flights ASAP to get good rates.

Thanks once again in advance LJ!

I don't really know what the exact dates for your class will be. Sometimes the dates are slightly different between the two classes. However, I'm sure that the Tampa and Fort Lauderdale programs will have the same breaks. Sometimes the professors end up moving exams up a few days or something so you can have some extra days off. If you're going somewhere in August I'm thinking we're probably going to end up having the last week off and thats it. I know for second years our fall semester starts around Sept. 2. I wouldn't bet on getting a final schedule for the summer until the first week of June.

I am looking at signing a lease and want to account for the possibility that I may move after my year is up. I know that clinical time is steadly ramps up, but at what point are you exclusively off campus?

First week of September your second year you can leave the area for clinicals. You always have the option of staying in South Florida longer though.
