Non-Degree Students
Non-degree graduate students need to possess only a bachelor’s degree and a 2.50 undergraduate grade-point average. Admission as a non-degree student does not guarantee admission to a degree program. The student must maintain a 2.5 GPA for the first 12 hours of WVU graduate coursework and maintain this average as long as enrolled.
To be eligible to enter a degree program, the student must maintain a minimum 2.75 GPA on all coursework taken since admission as a graduate student. A non-degree graduate student may accumulate unlimited graduate credit hours. If a student is later admitted to a degree program, the faculty of that program will decide what credit, if any, may be applied to the degree. Non-degree students may not apply more than 12 hours of previously earned credit toward a degree. These are the minimum admission requirements. Individual programs often establish higher standards. Please contact the appropriate college or school for complete information on the program of your choice.
