VCU 2008-09 application materials
Fall 2008 applications
The VCU Office of Undergraduate Admissions is currently still accepting applications from freshman applicants. However, VCU has received a record number of freshman applications this year. Many programs at the university have met their capacity for fall 2008; therefore, students are being placed on a waiting list. Applications received after our freshman deadline of Feb. 1 will be considered only if space is available.
Transfer applicants to undergraduate programs in the VCU School of the Arts’ visual arts or music programs should submit their applications by the May 1 transfer deadline. Transfer applicants to undergraduate programs on the Monroe Park Campus other than those in the School of the Arts should submit their applications by the June 1 transfer deadline. Transfer applicants interested in health sciences programs on the MCV Campus should see specific program information for deadlines.
Applications to Undergraduate Programs on the Monroe Park Campus
Applicants to undergraduate programs on the Monroe Park Campus may choose to apply online or by using our paper application. Applicants should read carefully all instructions and be sure they understand the requirements for the program into which they are applying. Some programs, including the School of the Arts and the School of Nursing, require additional materials to be submitted in order for an application to be considered complete.
Applications to Undergraduate Health Sciences programs on the MCV Campus
Transfer students and current VCU students who wish to apply to undergraduate programs in clinical laboratory sciences, clinical radiation sciences, dental hygiene and nursing on the MCV Campus should be aware that courses and credit requirements for admission vary for each program. Applicants to any of these programs must submit supplemental admissions materials.
Why we ask for your Social Security number
While VCU does not require your Social Security number for admission consideration, it is necessary for applicants who wish to be considered for financial aid and Hope Scholarship/Lifetime Learning tax credit to provide a Social Security number to the university. To protect your privacy, your Social Security number will not be used as your VCU student identification number.
