Student Success Advisor

A student success advisor will support you throughout your time with VCU—from orientation to graduation. They will work around your schedule to ensure you get the support you need, when you need it.

Accessible Faculty

You can virtually connect with your professors during their on-campus office hours. Faculty members are just as available to online students as they are to on-campus students.
