How to Apply
In order to apply for admission to WVU, you must complete the undergraduate application form . Make sure you complete all information, including your major and social security number. Mark the transfer box at the top of the application. Please remember to sign your application.
With your application, send the application fee and course descriptions for all courses you have completed and are currently enrolled in (this is not required for students transferring from other West Virginia institutions). Write your name on each page, and highlight each course taken. Please do not send complete catalogs.
Request official transcripts from all institutions you have attended. Please have the transcripts sent directly to WVU from the Registrar’s Office of the institution(s) you have attended. We do not accept transcripts that have been issued to the student or facsimile (FAX) transcripts. Please note that in order to be considered for admission, you must have transcripts sent to us from all institutions you have attended, even if you did not do well at one of the institutions.
In addition, if you are transferring with less than 29 transferable credits, you must have an official high school transcript and ACT or SAT scores sent to us. Please ask your high school to mark the transcript: “FOR TRANSFER ADMISSION”. Failure to do this may slow your admission. If you have been out of high school for 5 or more years, no test scores are required.
Finally, in order to process your application, we must have all of the above material by August 1 for fall admission and by December 1 for spring admission. We recommend you apply as early as possible.
Students who are not accepted to WVU as freshmen and decide to attend college elsewhere may be considered for admission after completing one year of academic work at another accredited institution.
To ensure the health and safety of our campus, immunization against communicable diseases is extremely important. Vaccination against Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) is required of all transfer students. Documentation of these immunizations must be submitted to the Office of Admissions and Records prior to enrollment in the initial entry semester.
