Veteran Application Checklist

  1. Are you entering as a freshman or a transfer?
    Do you have less than 12 college credit hours? That makes you a freshman.
    Do you have 12 or more college credit hours from an accredited college or university? That makes you a transfer.
  2. What deadline will you choose?
    We offer several deadlines if you are entering as a first-year student:
    Early Action - notification will be late-February
    Regular Decision - Notification will be Mid-March (on a space-available basis)
    If you are entering as a transfer student, your deadlines are:
    Summer/Fall - March 1
    Spring (if available) - October 1
  3. Build your CommonApp profile.
  4. You can do this anytime, even before the application opens. This personal information will be a good start toward completing your application.
  5. Complete the online application.
    The $60 application fee will be automatically waived for veterans who apply.
  6. Complete the Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR).
    A link will be sent to you after you submit your application for admission. To learn more about the SRAR, visit our apply webpage at vt.edu/admissions/undergraduate/apply.
