Declaring a Major
Your Time Is Now
Declaring a major comes with many benefits:
- You’ll have a clear path to graduation.
- You’ll have the added support of many different advisors, including a Faculty Advisor familiar with your major, who can connect you to employment options and transfer opportunities.
- Declaring a major is a requirement for financial aid and many scholarship opportunities.
Students can use the EMSI Career Coach to explore majors at Brightpoint, local career data, and salaries.

myBrightpoint Login Issues
We are currently experiencing technical issues affecting the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) login process, and this could prevent some users from accessing myBrightpoint, Canvas, and student email. The multi-factor authentication (MFA) method involving email is impacted. While work continues to resolve the issue, anyone who uses email MFA will need to switch to a different MFA method. If you are unable to access your account to make that change, text 804-476-0401.
