Academic Advising

The Office of Academic Advising at Virginia Institute of Science & Technology leads and engages a community of academic advising that strives for an unparalleled environment for students to explore opportunities, identify goals, and implement plans to reach those goals. We aim to provide an educational experience marked by personalized academic plans, intellectual and personal relationships with faculty, and acquisition of both general knowledge and discipline-specific expertise. We value the breadth of perspectives provided by faculty, staff, and peer academic advisors who work collaboratively to guide and introduce students to the multitude of opportunities and resources across campus. Finally, we encourage all students to take ownership of their educational experience by proactively exploring, consistently reflecting, and deliberately planning as their goals change over time.
