How to submit a form electronically

ALL FORMS REQUIRE A FERPA PASSCODE. It must match the passcode listed in HokieSpa. If you do not have your own FERPA passcode, you will need to create one using the step-by-step guide. Please note that you will only need to create your passcode one time; you can use it throughout your academic career at Virginia Tech.

DocuSign forms

Most advising forms can be submitted online through DocuSign. Students can initiate these forms by clicking on the form in the list on this page and entering their name and email where prompted. Once a form is completed and signed, the form will use the information supplied to route it to the appropriate individuals via email for electronic signatures. There is no need to download the form and send it via email.

Other forms
