The application period for the upcoming Fall term, and Spring term (Morgantown campus only) opens on November 1 and closes on January 15. Official college transcripts from each college or university attended must be sent directly from the institution to the WVU Office of Admissions, P.O. Box 6009, Morgantown WV 26506 or via an online, secure service such as eScrip-Safe, National Student Clearinghouse, or Parchment to wvuadmissions@mail.wvu.edu. Please note, if you are a current or former WVU student, you do not need to have transcripts sent from the Morgantown, Beckley, or Keyser campuses. All transcripts must be received no later than January 15.

Nursing Transfer Students

College students currently enrolled in a nationally accredited nursing program at a regionally accredited college or university may request transfer of previously completed nursing courses to WVU School of Nursing BSN program using the steps below.

Three Campuses. One Choice. One Application.

The BSN program is available on three campuses:  Morgantown, Beckley, and Potomac State and we've made it easy to apply to the campus of your choice.  Simply submit one application per term for the BSN program and your one campus preference. (Submitting multiple applications for the same term to different campuses may cause a processing delay in your application.)
