While enrolled at NOVA, ADVANCE students will be enrolled at Mason as non-degree seeking students. They will become degree-seeking students once they complete their Associate’s degree. The student pays the tuition rate for the school at which they are enrolled in the particular course. For example if a student co-enrolls at Mason while at NOVA pursuing their associates degree, then the student will pay NOVA tuition for their NOVA classes and Mason tuition for their non-degree Mason classes.
