Desiree Carver with The Valdosta Daily Times recently reached out to Valdosta State University to learn more about the temporary shift from physical campus visits to the next best thing during a global health crisis — personalized, virtual tours. She shared her story, “Virtual Campus: ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ Moves Campus Tour Online,” on April 28.  

Full Story:

ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ Expert: Ryan Hogan, director of ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ’s Office of Admissions

Additional Coverage: This story also appeared in Daily Citizen-News, Suwannee Democrat, Thomasville Times-Enterprise, The Moultrie Observer, and The Tifton Gazette.

More Admissions Updates: In late March, ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ announced that it is waiving SAT/ACT scores for all first-year undergraduate applicants who meet high school grade point average, high school curriculum, and other established requirements for admissions during the upcoming summer and fall semesters. 

Following guidance from the University System of ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ, this decision is an effort to adapt admissions processes at ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, which has led to a more personalized, virtual approach for new applicants following the cancellation of testing services by the College Board and ACT. As always, ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ remains committed to the individual success of its students. 

To further remove barriers prospective students may be facing as they apply to college during this challenging time, ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ is also waiving its undergraduate application fee for the time being.

“We understand this is an uncertain time for many people,” Hogan says. “At Valdosta State, we are determined to use this time to connect with our prospective students and their families. We look forward to speaking with them on the benefits a degree from ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ has to offer.” On the Web: /admissions/

The health of our students, faculty, and staff is our highest priority, and ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ continues to monitor this global situation. Updates are posted at /health-advisory/.
