Step 2: Complete an Access to Student Records form and submit to the Registrar’s Office (registrar@vt.edu) for approval and processing. Forms will not be processed without:

a. Description of why you are requesting access to Navigate as it relates to your role within the university in Additional Notes or Comments section (just before required signatures)
b.  Appropriate Dean/Department Head signature

*Note, Step 2 may take some time to process

Step 3: If approved, you will be added to the Navigate Canvas training site to complete the mandatory, self-paced training. Go through the modules and complete the quiz. You must earn 100%.
Step 4: Email EABHelp@vt.edu that you have successfully completed the Canvas training. They will confirm and assign you the appropriate role in Navigate.
