How Courses Translate
Once we have your completed application and transcript(s), and have determined your eligibility for admission, we will do a preliminary evaluation of your transfer credits. Credits and grades for college-level courses completed at any institution in the West Virginia state system may be transferable as long as WVU offers the subject area. For example, WVU offers history courses and will therefore accept all history courses from accredited institutions (slight variations may occur). Credits, not grades, are transferable from institutions outside the West Virginia state system for college-level courses in which you earn a grade of “D” or higher. NOTE: D grades are accepted only for students entering WVU (Morgantown Campus) for the first time during or after Fall 1997.
Transfer credits from two-year community colleges and junior colleges are limited to a maximum of 72 hours of lower-division credit. Finally, all institutions must be accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, or by other regional accrediting associations accepted by West Virginia University.
We will translate your credit into WVU equivalents after you enroll. Your academic college or school will determine how, and/or whether your courses are applied toward completing your degree. In some cases, upper-division courses may not apply toward your degree.
