Your admissions counselor is determined by the first letter of your last name. While you'll typically work with just one, all of our counselors are ready and able to assist you. Don't hesitate to contact your counselor if you need any help or have any questions about Southern Virginia University.

A few counselors work late every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night to accommodate students and parents on the west coast.

For general questions, the front desk is available from 9 to 5 EST, Monday through Friday.
