How can I get information on a particular department?
The university bulletins have general information about departments. They are available on the Web and at the university bookstores. For in depth information, students should visit the particular department.
Where can I get an ID?
Students can get a VCUCard in the VCUCard Office for the appropriate campus. VCU Card Offices are located in the James Branch Cabell Library on the Monroe Park Campus and the Tompkins-McCaw Library on MCV campus.
Do I have to let anyone know I am not coming back to VCU next semester?
If a student does not intend on returning and has advanced registered then they should drop those courses.

However, if students do not attend classes for three or more successive fall and spring semesters, they will have to re-apply to the university if they wish to return.
