Faculty and staff resources
The Graduates school recognizes the important role faculty and staff members play in graduate student success. We share resources to help you support, mentor, and reward graduate students.
You'll find policies, program information and more in the Graduate Catalog.
Change in forms submission process—Graduate Admissions and Academic Progress
Effective March 1, 2022, to improve documentation of form submission to the Graduate School and ensure FERPA compliance for forms sent electronically, all Graduate Admissions and Academic Progress forms are to be submitted via the FERPA compliant Graduate Admission & Academic Progress Form Submission page or hand delivered to the Graduate School offices in Blacksburg or Falls Church. The Graduate School will no longer accept any forms submitted by email to grads@vt.edu, gssoncr@vt.edu, or an individual Graduate School staff member email.
For questions regarding this new process, please contact Janice Austin at jema@vt.edu.
Please note that forms for Graduate School Dean review and signature should continue to be submitted through their secure submission page.
