The Visitor and Undergraduate Admissions Center provides a central location for University visitors to attend Undergraduate Admissions information sessions, campus tours, receive their visitor's parking permit as well as gather other information relative to their visit.

Visitors to campus on weekdays must obtain a parking pass at the center if they wish to park on campus. A parking pass will not be required to park at the Visitor and Undergraduate Admissions Center while you are obtaining your visitor parking pass. Passes are not required on weekends, although special parking rules prevail on days when the university has home football games. Parking rules for weekdays are printed on the back of the pass, but the front office staff member at the center will be happy to explain these rules and direct visitors to parking areas.

To facilitate the process of obtaining a visitor parking pass, please have your name, license plate number, and the name of the state where the vehicle is registered with you when you enter the center. The front office staff member will need this information before they can issue a visitor parking pass. Note that only visitors may secure a visitor parking pass. Virginia Tech students, faculty, and staff may not. Check the Parking Services website for detailed information on parking rules and regulations.
