The MEng CSA Volunteer Priority Enrollment Program is a way for the program to recognize graduate students who give their time to support Virginia Tech events. By volunteering at one qualifying on‑campus event, MEng CSA students can earn priority enrollment into one CS 5000‑level course of their choice (capstone excluded) for an upcoming semester.

How It Works

1. Volunteer at a qualifying on‑campus event such as an Open House, webinar, K–12 outreach activity, or similar department‑approved event.

2. Your event supervisor will submit a verification form confirming that you fully participated: Link to Form

3. Once the supervisor’s form submission is received and the program verifies your eligibility, you will be added to a priority list to be contacted to select for one CS 5000‑level course of your choice (excluding capstone).

4. When advisors gain access to registration and if seats are still available after course request results are released, the program will enroll you into a course of your choice.

5. You are responsible for enrolling in all other courses on your own and ensuring you have no registration holds.

Important Notes

• This benefit may be used once per term.

• Priority enrollment is not a guarantee—it applies only if seats remain at the time the advising team processes your request.

• Only supervisors submit the verification form. Students do not need to submit anything unless asked for clarification.

• Events that are normal course activities, class assignments, paid work, club meetings, or events without an official supervisor do not qualify.

Why Participate?

This program rewards students who support the Virginia Tech community by helping with high‑impact events. Your contribution directly improves the experience of prospective students, families, and K–12 audiences and this priority enrollment benefit is one way we say thank you!

Welcome to the Boeing Scholarship Recipients Priority Registration Program! 

This program provides a second chance at early registration into available seats for students who are Boeing Scholars who need to meet enrollment requirements in order to maintain their scholarship and may not have received a seat in a class(es) of their choice from the course request lottery activity. This priority activity does NOT register you for classes that are already full after course request results have been released.

This priority activity is to give you another opportunity to register for a class space permitting before the add/drop period opens for the general VT student population. If your scholarship ends this fall but you will be enrolled until the spring, you can participate in regular registration April 2026.

This program prioritizes early registration (after course request results are released) for Boeing Scholars who need: 

• A course(es) that meets the scholarship's enrollment requirements

• The ability to finalize their schedule ahead of time

What to do Next: 

Boeing Scholars should participate in the course request activity to maximize enrollment chances in (a) class(es) of your choice. After course request results are released, interested students should complete the following form: Here

If you received that class(es) you wished to enroll in from the course request lottery activity, DO NOT COMPLETE THE PRIORITY FORM.
