Are You part of the WVU parents club?
You’re part of our family, too. With more than 20,000 members, the Parents Club is free and open to parents and family members of current, former and future WVU students. With a toll-free helpline, social media, parent electronic news and email updates, you’ll have your finger on the pulse of campus life throughout your student’s time at WVU.
Can my child take online courses at WVU?
These courses can be taken completely online, on WVU's Main Campus, or during the school day as dual credit options in participating high schools. Additionally, HS ACCESS will provide a support network for your child whether they take courses online or in their high school.
What is WVU HS access early college?
The High School ACCESS Early College Program enables your son or daughter to reach their academic goals quicker and cheaper by taking West Virginia University courses at a reduced tuition while they are still in high school. We want diverse and motivated students from all over the country to begin their exciting journeys with WVU HS ACCESS.
How much does it cost to get into WVU?
Pay the academic deposit — $150 for West Virginia residents and $250 for all other students — to secure a place in the Class of 2025. Your student’s been admitted — now it’s time to explore where to live. Did you know we have 12 residence halls on campus?
