2022 NUOVA Procedures for Participants & Staff

The NUOVA office will be located in room: N109

STUDENTS: Photocopiers are available at the King’s University library.  If the library is closed, you may use the NUOVA Office photocopier for a fee of $0.20 / copy. Pay in advance, $10 fee to create a tab, or alternatively we can compile your photocopying costs and you can pay at the end of the program. There are tracking sheets available where you can pay in advance and track your balance. REMEMBER DON’T TRY TO SOLVE NUOVA PHOTOCOPIER PROBLEMS. Let Giulia know.

FACULTY: Please use the NUOVA photocopier when you need copies

Inside the NUOVA Office N109 there is a binder with request sheets inside. Please fill it out and Kim & Martin will do their best to try and accommodate.  If your request has not been accommodated in 3-4 days, you can put it in the binder again, but remember that there are 60+ other participants and only so many hours in a day, so it may not be possible.

The King’s University is operational during the summer. Though there are few students, there are people working. Please keep your hallway noise down to a minimum and socialize quietly in public spaces. Make as much noise as you need behind a closed door of a practice room or lesson room! 

You are not allowed to practice until after noon on Sunday Mornings to be respectful of the Church Services that happen in the Atrium. 

Opera NUOVA will have a coffee & tea station set up outside the NUOVA office N109.  Coffee and tea by donation. Please donate what you can every time you help yourself.

• PLEASE BRING A REUSABLE CUP! ●

King’s University is a dry campus. NO Alcohol is permitted on site. This includes the residence.

The Facility does fine students who are caught with alcohol.
