To request access to Navigate, our academic advising platform:

Step 1

Confirm your FERPA training is up to date

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:

• 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)
• 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.

Please email EABHelp@vt.edu with any questions about this process.
