Acknowledgments

Virginia Commonwealth University encourages a community of trust, honesty, and integrity valuing all people and recognizing differences as an asset. Our mission is to advance knowledge and student success.

Virginia Commonwealth University is committed to inclusive admissions practices and does not consider race or legacy status as a factor when determining admission to the university. Virginia Commonwealth University does not discriminate in admissions, treatment, employment, or access to its programs or activities on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin (including ethnicity), age, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions), parenting status, marital status, political affiliation, military status (including veteran status), genetic information (including family medical history), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or disability. Every member of the VCU community has a responsibility to foster an environment free of unlawful discrimination.

I understand my offer of admission is contingent on (i) a post-admission/pre-enrollment criminal history inquiry that does not reveal criminal history information that is determined to pose a threat to the university community; and (ii) satisfactory completion of in-progress coursework and graduation from high school, if applicable.

If admitted, I understand that the university may rescind my offer of admission for failure to provide complete and accurate information in the application process or for behavior contrary to the university's mission and values or in violation of the university’s policies, including, but not limited to, the Student Code of Conduct, the policy on Preventing and Responding to Discrimination, the Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy, the Sex-Based Misconduct Policy, and the Honor System.

I understand that if I am admitted and enroll at VCU, I am required to read and agree to abide by the University Honor System Policy, Student Code of Conduct, and University academic regulations and Student Financial Responsibility Statement contained in the VCU Bulletins. Further, I agree to abide by VCU policies pertaining to responsible conduct of research, including the protection of human and animal research subjects, and to complete relevant training required by VCU and appropriate sponsoring agencies.

Conditional Admissions

Your application process will not be considered complete without providing official transcripts and your decision will not be considered final until all required official documents are received. Please refer to the High School Transcripts section above for more information.

Your admission to Virginia Commonwealth University is based on your Niche profile. This offer may be adjusted if your GPA has changed or was misreported. Please contact a VCU admission counselor to discuss your options
