Applications to enter during the summer or fall semester are due by February 15 of the year you intend to enter (we do not accept applications for the spring semester). Note: international applicants must meet a January 15 deadline for summer or fall admission. For more information on the transfer application process please see the Admissions website.
Transfer students are admitted to General Engineering (GE) by the admissions office; after one semester (or 12 credit hours) of completed course work at Virginia Tech a student may apply to enter a degree-granting engineering major.
Degree-requirements (checksheets) for every engineering major can be found http://www.registrar.vt.edu/graduation/checksheets/index.html
