Month: November 2013

The IT group in the Graduate School will be replacing the web management platform during an extended maintenance window this weekend.  The entire website, and related services, will be unavailable from 8am to 5pm this Saturday, November 23, 2013.

Please note that many URLs will be changing with the introduction of the new platform.  We understand that this is highly inconvenient, and appreciate your patience and understanding as we transition.  Most of the tools/applications will remain at the same URL, notably if they begin with https://secure.graduateschool…

Please keep an eye out for these link changes so that you can arrange for your website to be updated appropriately.

Given the time of year, I want to highlight a significant link update:
http://applyto.graduateschool.vt.edu/ is “the” link to use for referring perspective students to apply.

We are excited with the upcoming changes, and look forward to any feedback you may have.  Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving Holiday!
