Ignite Your Strengths: CliftonStrengths  
During Orientation, you will engage in activities that support Villanova’s commitment to developing and nurturing the whole person in an environment that supports individual differences. Every incoming student will take the CliftonStrengths assessment, which we view as a tool for self‐discovery. Complete the steps outlined on our website to take your CliftonStrengths assessment by Friday, July 31.   

Sign Up for NOVA Alert
NOVA Alert delivers important emergency alerts, notifications and updates to any mobile device or email you choose to register. All incoming students are automatically registered to receive NOVA Alerts. Parents, family members and visitors can opt in to receive NOVA Alerts by texting NOVAALERT to 333-111. 

Registering with Learning Support Services or the Office for Access and Disability Services 
Students with disabilities who need accommodations may register with Learning Support Services (LSS) or the Office for Access and Disability Services (ADS) by completing the Online Intake Form through Clockwork. Check out the LSS and ADS websites for guidelines to complete the Online Intake Form and to learn more about what documentation is required. After students submit this form, either LSS or ADS will reach out to schedule an Intake Meeting to discuss the student’s accommodation needs. Please email LSS or ADS with any questions. 

For Students Who Don’t Identify as Catholic: “How Can I Practice My Faith and/or Explore Spiritual Questions at Villanova?”  
Villanova’s Office for Mission and Ministry provides students with many ways to connect and engage with the University’s Augustinian Catholic mission, while supporting all students in exploring questions of meaning and purpose through their own faith tradition or ethical perspective. Multifaith Ministry offers an array of resources and opportunities to make sure you feel at home on campus, no matter your background. If you are looking to connect with others with a similar faith identity, explore new spiritual questions and practices, or get to know your classmates of different faiths, we would love to help you get involved! Please fill out this Faith, Meaning and Values Survey.
