  NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino experiment using an off-axis neutrino beam
produced by the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. The NOvA experiment will study
neutrino $\nu_{\mu}\rightarrow\nu_{e}$ oscillations. A short term goal for the
NOvA experiment is to develop a good understanding of the response of the
detector. These studies are being carried out with the full Near Detector
installed on the surface (NDOS) at Fermilab. This detector is currently running
and will acquire neutrino data for a year. Using beam muon neutrino data,
quasi-elastic charged-current interactions will be studied. Status of the NDOS
running and early data will be shown.
