What does it mean to be an online student at WVU?

You are considered an online student if you are enrolled in an online program listed through the WVU Online Campus. As an online student, you have access to many of the resources available to on-campus students such as WVU libraries, career services, accommodations services, and more. You will pay different tuition and fees than on-campus students, so a few things that those enrolled in online programs do not have access to are the student recreation center, housing, PRT, and free tickets to athletic events.

The WVU Online team is here for you during your online learning journey. We can help you navigate the curriculum of your program of interest, understand the application process, and keep you posted on upcoming events and deadlines.
