Transcripts
O Level/GCSE/IGCSE transcripts
Applicants need to have passed at least 5 O Level/GCSE/IGCSE exams from approved UK exam boards before being reviewed for admission. English and Math must be among the 5 required subject passes. Unofficial certificates from exam boards can generally be reviewed for admission. Verification information or official certificates must be provided to enroll.
A and AS Level transcripts
In most cases A and AS level exams are not required for admission. They are only required when applicants took national exams (e.g., SEE from Nepal, Sri Lankan GCE O Levels) to qualify for AS/A Level study instead of IGCSE/GCSE exams through an approved UK exam board. In all cases A and AS level exam passes can be awarded university credit upon receiving official certificates. AS level subjects are typically awarded 3-4 credits depending on how many credits the introductory course at WVU in that subject requires. A level subjects are awarded 6-8 credits depending on how many credits the introductory courses at WVU in that subject require. Credit for AS level subjects is not assessed when an A Level pass in the same subject is present.
WVU reserves the right to require official or additional documents as needed to complete a complete and fair review.
