Returning to Virginia Tech?

General Reenrollment

Any undergraduate or associate level student unable to register due to registration inactivity will need to complete a short (up to 3 questions) request form. Registration inactivity happens when a student does not enroll in two consecutive primary terms (Fall/Spring) which can include being suspended and who also do not have future registration beyond that point. This process assists Virginia Tech in providing a successful return to campus plan for you, by notifying your academic advisor of your return and providing you with information on useful resources.

4 Steps to Re-enrolling

Once you have received confirmation from the Registrar’s Office that your re-enrollment request has been processed, follow the 4 Steps to Re-enroll.

  1. Talk with an academic advisor
    If you are unsure of who to contact, you can reach to reenroll@vt.edu. Please note, if you do not have access to your VT email account you will receive access after you register for courses, but you still have access to HokieSPA.
  2. Check and remove any administrative holds!
    Check HokieSPA to see if you have any administrative holds on your account. Holds can be placed on your account for several reasons by units such as Accounts Receivable, Parking Services, or your college. Some holds can prevent registration for courses; others may not. If you currently have active holds, contact the department that placed the hold to resolve it.
  3. Register for classes
    During the next available registration period to include either Course Request or Add/Drop you can enroll yourself in classes. View Add/Drop and Course Request Dates on the Academic Calendar.
  4. Access your Virginia Tech email account
    Your VT email account will automatically reactive after you enroll in courses. If you are unable to access your student account due to forgotten credentials, then contact 4Help.
