Admission Procedures

Students can apply for admission online or submit a paper application. All student records are maintained in the Wheeling Admissions Office.

Application materials include, as appropriate:

  2. A separate Allied Health or Nursing application, including fee, if a student is seeking admission to a limited-enrollment program.

  3. A transcript of high school grades or GED™/TASC scores for first-time and transfer students seeking a degree or certificate if the applicant has completed high school or GED™/TASC requirements during the past five years and earned fewer than 30 semester hours from a regionally accredited postsecondary educational institution.

  4. Official transcripts of all previous college work if the applicant has attended other colleges (see Transfer Student for details). Transcripts must be in original sealed envelope or sent directly from the issuing institution.

  5. Placement test scores, if available. See Multiple Measures Placement page for details.

  6. A transient student letter from applicants who are registered at another college(s) but are taking coursework at West Virginia Northern. See Transient Student page for details.

  7. Proof of immunization for measles and rubella. All first-time students and out-of-state transfer students enrolling on a full-time basis who were born after January 1, 1957, will be required to provide proof of immunization for measles and rubella. Acceptable documentation is as follows:

Exemptions to this Board of Directors policy are the following:

  2. Religious – requires a written, signed and notarized statement of bona fide religious beliefs and                       opposition to the immunization requirements.

Students must present proof of immunization or exemption prior to enrolling or no later than the end of their first semester of enrollment. Failure to do so will result in all future registration being prohibited until proper documentation is submitted.
