Spring Orientation
We are so glad you've chosen our college
And we can’t wait to see the impact you’re going to have.
We look forward to seeing you in January. As soon as possible after accepting your offer from Virgina Tech, here are the next steps you need to take for academic advising and virtual course registration for the spring 2026 semester.
- Complete your New Student Checklist items, including your required virtual orientation modules through New Student and Family Programs.
- NOTE: Virtual orientation modules will open December 1, and course registration will begin in early December. In preparation for completing pre-registration checks found in this tutorial, please note that you will need to have a local address to progress through the registration pre-checks, so please work to have this information available as soon as possible.
