Optional Summer and Spring Programs
Visit the Virginia Tech Blacksburg campus in-person before the start of your academic journey!
Summer Orientation (in-person)
Orientation is the optional, in-person part of the orientation experience that takes place on campus over the summer. These visits are for new undergraduate students beginning in the fall semester, including transfer students. Families are also invited to join! This day-long experience is where new students and their family members are invited to get acclimated with campus, learn more about Virginia Tech resources, and connect with other students before the fall semester.
Note: Registration for Orientation (in-person) must be completed at least 24 hours in advance. To register, students must use their Virginia Tech PID and password.
Orientation will host daily sessions on select days from June 20 to July 13, 2026. Registration information will be emailed to new students and made available here in the spring.
Spring Orientation (in-person)
Spring Orientation is for new undergraduate students joining us in the spring semester, including transfer students. This is an in-person, afternoon program on the Friday before the first day of classes in January. You’ll be able to connect with your peers, resources, and services on campus. This is an optional program but highly encouraged. Registration opens late in the fall semester and will be emailed to you.
