Vital information about admission to Virginia Tech is provided in the 9 am session, and more specialized information sessions throughout the rest of the day. We have developed a program that is condensed into an informative and activity-packed few hours, so that our visitors traveling long distances have the option of beginning the trip home by 3 pm.

Parking for those with special needs is located on Old Turner Street (you will need to display a handicap parking tag).p>
