The VCU Compact

The VCU Compact is our pledge to create a shared undergraduate experience that enhances student engagement and learning, fosters a sense of community, and emphasizes the development of a set of skills essential for educational and professional successes and lifelong learning.

The establishment of the VCU Compact ensures all graduates have the skills, knowledge and attitudes needed for lifelong success.  The VCU Compact creates a University-wide shared experience for all undergraduates that focuses on the foundations necessary to enable and ensure lifelong learning.  VCU will commit itself to a higher level of engagement between faculty and students while raising the performance expectations of the entire University community through this Compact.
