ALL Students are required to obtain valid health insurance during their entire stay.  Bring proof of your current insurance to Beth Loar in the Annex.

IMMIGRATION UPDATE

VT E-MAIL  ACCOUNT and PID
Every student to the Virginia Tech Language and Culture Institute will need to set up an e-mail account. This e-mail account will be used to send you important notices and bills. You will use this account as long as you are a Virginia Tech student. The e-mail username you choose is also called a PID, or "Personal IDentifier." With your PID and an associated password, you can access online Virginia Tech services. You will create your PID from the Generate PID page at https://webapps.es.vt.edu/pidgen/start.html. Your student identification number (printed on your student identification card) will be needed to set up your account.  STUDENTS SHOULD CHECK VT EMAIL REGULARLY.


NO CLASSES on Monday, May 28th.

Last Day to drop classes is Tuesday, May 29th.
 

IMPORTANT NOTICES
VTLCI publishes important notices for all students on its website in several locations. Students are strongly encouraged to subscribe to these services to make sure they receive important announcements and news. Signing up is as easy as entering your e-mail address on each site:

Campus Alerts
VT Alerts is Virginia Tech's Emergency Notification System. In a campus emergency, Virginia Tech will use several information delivery methods to reach students because, at any given time, one form of communications might be better to reach you than another. VT Alerts is one of the delivery means, and will send messages to cell phones, telephone numbers and e-mail accounts. Students are strongly encouraged to register for VT Alerts on the VT website at http://www.alerts.vt.edu/.
