On April 26, the Graduate School will transition its phone service to a new provider. The process will take about two hours (11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.). During that time, we will not have phone service. If you need to reach someone, please use their email address or grads@vt.edu.
You may experience delays in service during the week or two following the installation of the new service. Please be patient. We will get back to you as soon as we can. Thank you!
