Admission to the Commonwealth Campus |
In order to take graduate-level courses, you must be admitted by the Graduate School. Students who wish to take only a few courses for credit (up to 12 hours total, max 6 hours per semester) must apply under Commonwealth Campus status. (More about this status.) You can apply as a Commonwealth Campus student if:
- You have an undergraduate degree (or expect to have one before beginning course)
- You are NOT a degree-seeking student at Virginia Tech
- You want to take a few courses for credit but NOT work towards an entire degree
- You have NOT filled out the Commonwealth Campus or VTOnline (non-degree) application before
|
To be admitted as a Commonwealth Campus student, you must:
- Fill out the application form
- Pay a US$25.00 non-refundable admission fee online
- Submit a photocopy of your official undergraduate diploma or transcript
Note: Both in-state and out-of-state students may apply for Commonwealth Campus status. International students are not eligible. |

If you do not meet the above conditions, it may be because:
- You have filled out the Commonwealth Campus application but have not heard whether you have been admitted. Please wait for us to contact you by email. It may take several days. If it has been more than several days, please contact vto@vt.edu or call 540-231-1264.
- You have already been admitted as a Commonwealth Campus student (or filled out the VTOnline application form before). Let VTOnline help you register for classes.
- You do not have an undergraduate transcript or diploma. Undergraduate students cannot apply under Commonwealth Campus status. Courses may be taken with permission of the instructor only. Contact VTOnline for more information.
- You are already a degree-seeking student at Virginia Tech or you wish to get a degree from Virginia Tech. Degree-seeking students must register through the Hokie SPA. Students who wish to be admitted to a degree program must go through the regular admissions process. See the Graduate School website for instructions.
