We are committed to providing a full spectrum of student services to include assurance of integrity confidentiality, while complying with all federal, state and University policies; security of academic records, certifying student enrollment, degree and diploma processing; availability of course offerings each semester; coordinate registration and commencement exercises; preparing official university transcripts; and performing other academic administration responsibilities.

The Registrar’s Office is open for in-person services Monday-Friday 8:30-4:30. Contact us by email at Registrar@vsu.edu or call 804-524-5275.

Degree seeking students may enroll in a maximum of 18 credit hours during the Fall and Spring semesters. For Summer and Winter semesters, students may enroll in a maximum of two courses (up to 8 credit hours) per summer session. Non-degree seeking/non-matriculating students may not exceed a total of 11 credit hours at any given point in time. Taking any additional courses beyond 11 credit hours requires admission into a VSU degree program.
