At the Curry School, we have made a strategic decision to combine into one office the functions of Admissions and Student Services. The dual function of this office gives Curry a unique opportunity to work with you from the moment you find Curry all the way to the moment of your graduation. In Admissions and Student Services, our goal is to support you as you embark on the application process and continue to be a resource for you during your student experience here. Please feel free to email [curry-admissions@virginia.edu] us at any time with questions.
You can find us at 106 Bavaro Hall. Our office is open 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday. We look forward to getting to know you during our time together.
