Minimum Admission Requirements

The advice below is to give you a general sense of admissibility. It is not a guarantee of how WVU will convert your GPA or a scholarship award.
| Grading System | Admission minimum | Scholarship minimum |
|---|---|---|
| WASSCE (secondary) | C5 | B3 |
| GPA with 5.0 maximum (university) | 2.15 | 3.25 |
If you are affected by the U.S. State Department’s proclamation regarding restricted entry or “travel ban,” we encourage you to wait until the suspension is lifted to apply.
Transcripts
Secondary/high school transcripts
Applicants must provide West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results for review. Verification information must be provided to enroll. 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. Learn how to submit university transcripts.
WVU reserves the right to require official or additional documents as needed to complete a complete and fair review.
