Transfer Students

Transfer Students

Transfer applicants must be eligible to return to the last institution attended to be admissible to West Virginia State University. Prior to admission, official transcripts of all previously attempted college-level work must be received. Transfer applicants with fewer than thirty semester hours of college credit also must submit an official high school transcript or GED and an ACT or SAT score. (NOTE: If English 101 and 102 or their equivalents have not been completed in the first 60 credit hours, the student must enroll in English 101/102 the first semester of enrollment at WVSU.) Not more than seventy-two credit hours may be accepted and applied toward graduation from any combination of community and junior college credit hours.

Transfer students without complete documentation may be admitted provisionally. When the records arrive, if they indicate the student does not meet regular admissions standards, the registration will be canceled or the conditions of probation applied. Transfer students who do not have a C average may be admitted if they are eligible to return to their former institution, are deficient no more than seventeen quality points, and accept the following provisions of a probation agreement:

1. Must make progress toward a C average each semester
2. Must enroll for no more than twelve hours each semester while on academic probation
3. Must achieve a C average by the end of the third semester at West Virginia State University.

In order to receive a degree from West Virginia State University, baccalaureate transfer students must complete the last thirty hours at West Virginia State University. Associate degree students must complete the last fifteen hours at West Virginia State University.
