Undergraduate Application

Thank you for considering one of West Virginia University's online undergraduate programs. WVU's application resources and guidelines will help you understand the admissions process and how to prepare a successful application.

How to Apply to a WVU Undergraduate Program

Please complete the following steps:
  • Review the admission requirements for your program
  • Register for an account and complete the WVU application
  • The application fee is $65 for domestic students and $75 for international students
  • Request official transcripts be sent directly from all non-WVU institutions attended:
    • First-time Freshmen: Send your official high school transcript
    • Transfer Students: Send official transcripts from all other institutions attended. If you have fewer than 24 college credits, WVU also needs to receive your official high school transcript
    • Learn how to submit transcripts of previous coursework


Application Deadlines


First-time Freshmen and Transfer Students

  • Spring semester admission: Apply by December 1
  • Fall semester admission: Apply by August 1

International Students

To allow time for visa processing, all application materials and supporting documents must be received by:
  • Fall semester admission: Apply by June 1. Documents due by July 1.
  • Spring semester admission: Apply by October 1. Documents due by November 1.
  • Summer semester admission: Apply by February 15. Documents due by April 1.
Applications submitted after the deadline or incomplete applications will be considered for the next admission term.

Please check if the program you are applying to has a different application deadline.

Online Student Tuition and Fees

As an online student, your tuition and fees differ from those of on-campus students. Because students in online programs do not pay fees that support on-campus services, students enrolled in online programs do not have access to these services, including the Student Recreation Center, the PRT, or free tickets to athletic events.
