Graduate and Professional Student Housing

Wednesday, 24 June 2009
At this time, we believe that all on-campus housing has been filled. It is unlikely that we will be extending additional offers for on-campus housing but we will continue to maintain the wait list. In the event that we are able to make additional contract offers, we will notify students via email. You may wish to secure off-campus housing at this time; if you need assistance with an off-campus search you may wish to contact the Virginia Tech Off-Campus Housing Office at (540) 231-3466 or via email at vtoch@vt.edu. If you have any questions about this message please contact our office at (540) 231-6207.

Virginia Tech offers on-campus housing for Graduate and Professional students. This housing option reflects both the diversity and tradition that are the hallmarks of graduate studies at the University. The facilities are suited to provide privacy, convenience, and an atmosphere conducive to learning.

Graduate Wait List Sign-Up

For graduate housing, contract offers are made in order of entry date, and determined based on the available housing for assignment. Students must be enrolled at the University before a contract will be offered. Once you have signed up, your 2008-2009 student status will be checked and you will receive a receipt e-mail from our office acknowledging your entry onto the waiting list.
