School of Neuroscience Forms
The forms listed below are specifically related to the School of Neuroscience and should be used for neuroscience advising, academic requests, and related student processes.
College of Science forms can be found on the College of Science Student Forms website: https://www.science.vt.edu/academics/advising/forms.html.
The School of Neuroscience has a formal policy to ensure all students are making progress towards their bachelor’s degree. Each student must achieve a minimum grade of C- or higher in the following courses or equivalent coursework (i.e. Integrated Science Curriculum).
Virginia Tech has a process called Request to Force Add which is a procedure that allows students to request to enroll in classes that are already full to their planned capacity or that have restrictions that the students do not meet (prerequisite, corequisites, class restrictions, etc.).
The School of Neuroscience Force Add form will be processed during the ADD period for the term you are requesting to add the course.
- You are allowed one entry per course. If you upload multiple requests, only the first will be considered.
- We do not force-add for convenience or for you to get a different instructor.
- Force-add requests are processed in the order they are received.
The purpose of this form is for a student to use a different course to substitute for a neuroscience course requirement or to request an exception to Progress Towards Degree/Policy 6305 violation.
This form should only be used in cases where a student has an extenuating circumstance or valid reason for requesting an exception. Please provide all requested information for the appropriate petition. Submit supporting documents as requested. You will be notified with the results of your request.
