Transcripts

Secondary/high school transcripts

• Applicants must provide West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results and verification information for review. Applicants who are still completing secondary school may apply with unofficial transcripts from their local school 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).

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