Congratulations on your acceptance to VCUarts!
We can’t wait to have you as a part of our RAMily! To help you get started, review your checklist for all the information about how to accept your offer of admission and prepare for enrollment at VCU.
Fall 2024 Accepted first-year students, reply to your offer by May 1, 2024, if you were accepted to the university by April 1. If you were accepted after April 1, respond within two weeks after your acceptance.
Students who have received their financial aid package from VCU should commit to VCU by May 1. For students who were impacted by the FAFSA delay and receive their financial aid award after May 1, VCU will continue to accept enrollment deposits post May 1.
Accepted transfer students, reply to your offer by June 1, 2024.
Note: Both your response form and tuition deposit must be received in order for your account to reflect that you have accepted the offer of admission.
If you’re receiving a scholarship or financial aid, you may request a tuition deposit waiver on the response form. Visit your accepted student portal for more information and a link to the form.
