Transcripts and Student Information

Virginia Tech requires your official transcript to be sent to the Graduate School for record updating. The copy of your transcript uploaded in your admissions application is not deemed as official for your student record with Virginia Tech. Failure to submit your official transcript will result in a hold placed on your student account.

The Graduate School will ONLY accept official sealed copies of the transcript. 

Below are multiple ways to submit your official transcript to the Graduate School:

  1. The university can email the electronic official transcript directly to: DCgradschool@vt.edu
