Create your Virginia Tech PID

After your deposit has been received (consult the application status page to verify receipt), go to HokieSPA and follow the instructions to create your PID and password. After you successfully create your PID, go to HokieSPA to complete the remaining steps. If you are having problems creating your PID, check out our helpful hints.

Log in to Hokie SPA

Go to HokieSPA and log in using your PID and password. Select the “Hokie SPA” link and then click the “Information for New Students” link.
From the “Information for New Students” section, you will need to:

Send Transcripts (before Summer Orientation)

Send your final official transcripts of all high school transcript(s), as well as final college transcript(s) reflecting dual enrollment credit (if applicable), through the spring term so that it is received by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions before your scheduled summer orientation session. If we do not receive your final high school transcript(s) by August 1, 2010, we will not have confirmation that you met admissions requirements and, as a result, your offer will be rescinded and you will be unable to attend. Attendance at summer orientation and registration for fall courses does not exempt you from this requirement.

In order to receive credit through Advanced Placement (AP) or the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, you must have your AP or IB examination scores sent electronically, by the appropriate testing service, to the Office of the University Registrar, Virginia Tech. For more information about tests and scores accepted for credit, visit the Registrar's AP, IB, & CLEP Credit page.

Hokie Focus

If you still have questions about Virginia Tech, plan on attending Hokie Focus, an event for students offered admission and their families.

Important

Your offer of admission will be withdrawn under the following circumstances:

  • Your final grades are significantly lower than your previous academic record, indicating a declining academic performance in your final year or semester.
  • Your final transcript(s) reveals that you have failed to complete the university’s minimum requirements for admission.
  • Your final transcript(s) is not received by the undergraduate admissions office as directed above.

To request a refund of your $400 matriculation deposit, you must mail a written request to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, postmarked no later than May 1, 2010. Requests postmarked after May 1, 2010 will not be granted.
