Transcripts

Secondary/high school transcripts

• Freshman applicants can generally be reviewed and admitted based on unofficial transcripts. Secondary school graduates must provide final documents and any external exams. Applicants who are still completing secondary school may apply with transcripts showing their progress to date.

University transcripts

• Transfer applicants must provide official transcripts from all universities attended for review. For most applicants, this means sending original or certified paper copies in the mail. Emailed transcripts can be reviewed on a case-by-case basis (link to grad documents page for more info).

Any document not in English must be accompanied by a literal, word-for-word English translation.

WVU reserves the right to require official or additional documents as needed to complete a complete and fair review.
