NEW SCHOOL ORIENTATION

Participation in a New School Orientation session is the first step in the application process for entities seeking certification to operate a postsecondary institution in Virginia. 

Each institution is required to have one participant (such as the president, school owner, compliance officer, or senior administrator) attend New School Orientation. All participants are required to pay a non-refundable fee of $150 each to attend.

SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE SESSION:

• The session for DEGREE-GRANTING schools is for colleges or universities offering associate's degrees or higher.
• The session for VOCATIONAL/NON-DEGREE schools is for postsecondary entities offering certificate programs or vocational training in fields such as information technology, cosmetology, or dental assisting.
• Prospective attendees with questions about the correct session for which they should register should contact StephanieShelton@schev.edu.
