Orientation

Welcome to Virginia Tech!

Whether you are coming to us from high school, a community college, or a four-year institution, New Student and Family Programs is here to support you through your orientation journey. We support new undergraduate students and their families during their transition to Virginia Tech by providing education, facilitating connections, and creating welcoming environments.



You’re In… Now What?

Have you been accepted into Virginia Tech, but don’t know where to start? Here is a check list of everything you need to know and do before your transition to Virginia Tech.

Virtual Orientation

Virtual Orientation is mandatory. Learn about academics, support services, policies, and next steps in your transition to Virginia Tech.

Admitted Student Visits

Join us this summer on campus to connect with our student leaders and other new students and families! You'll learn about life as a Hokie, upcoming requirements, deadlines, and things to prepare as you're transitioning to Virginia Tech. Admitted Student Visits are optional but encouraged.

Weeks of Welcome

A part of our extended orientation and transition experience, and the official start of the Virginia Tech academic and co-curricular experience for new Hokies.

Families as partners

Families have questions. We have answers. These resources can help keep your family in the loop about programs, events, and all things Hokie.
