We're pleased that you're taking a look at Valley City State University! VCSU has a long-standing tradition of providing personal connections throughout your educational experience and we've merged that tradition with the latest in instructional technology. We just completed our 12th year of providing every full-time student a laptop computer, making the VCSU experience one of the best values available today.

Our office is excited to work with you as you make plans for obtaining your bachelor's degree. Take a look around our site and contact us today!

Making the final decision about where to go to college is a difficult one. If you're still "on the fence" and you haven't visited VCSU we would love you to come visit! Just let us know what day and time you can come and we'll take care of setting up a tour and a meeting with a professor in your area of interest, as well as any extra-curricular areas of interest. You'll also meet with an admission counselor and get a free t-shirt! Just call 701-845-7101 to let us know you'd like to come visit.

If you're planning to attend VCSU this fall and you haven't registered for classes, give us a call to make a registration appointment!
An academic advisor will work with you to create your fall schedule suited to fit your needs.
If you already have a class schedule but would like to make a change please let us know by calling 1-800-532-8641 x. 7101 or 701-845-7101.
