Fall Course Advising and Enrollment During Summer
Shortly after May 15, you will receive an email from the team of advising deans that supports transfer students. This message will include the plan for fall course advising and enrollment. Transfer deans will be hosting group Zoom advising meetings in early June and will also be available for one-on-one advising appointments during the summer. You will complete a pre-enrollment survey in June which will get you started on your fall schedule. Later in the summer, you will be enrolled in classes in the major field of interest you have indicated on the pre-enrollment survey. Your fall schedule will be completed before you arrive on Grounds for Summer Orientation on Monday, July 28. You will have an opportunity to fine-tune your fall schedule on Tuesday, July 29.
Please reach out to TransferSAE@virginia.edu with questions about advising and enrollment this summer.
