Evaluation of Transfer Credits

All credits, grades and quality points shall be entered on the permanent record card of transfer students. D grades will be accepted from all accredited four year and community colleges. Students transferring from non-accredited colleges will receive credit only for those courses in which a grade of C or higher has been earned. In sequence courses, however, a D grade will be accepted if followed by a grade of C or higher.

Up to seventy-two semester hours of college-parallel courses will be accepted from accredited junior or community colleges or those under the West Virginia system of higher education. If the college is not regionally accredited but has approved status, only 64 hours will be accepted. Evaluation of transfer credits will be approved by the Registrar.

The transfer student must fulfill the graduation requirements of the college, including 40 hours of 300-400 level courses. Credits earned at a junior or community college may not be used to satisfy this requirement even though transfer credits are evaluated as comparable to 300 and 400 level courses at WVU Tech. Students with less than 30 transfer credits must take orientation.

Formal transfer agreements with other institutions have been developed for the plus-two baccalaureate degree engineering technology and industrial technology programs. Over seventy transfer guides identify transferability on a course-by-course basis for various associate degree programs at these institutions. The institutions for which transfer agreements are in place include: Belmont Technical College (OH), Dabney S. Lancaster Community College (VA), Hocking Technical College (OH), Jefferson Community College (OH), Marshall Community & Technical College (WV), New River Community College (VA), Southern West Virginia Community & Technical College (WV), Southwest Virginia Community College (VA), Washington State Community College (OH), West Virginia Northern Community College (WV), West Virginia State Community & Technical College (WV), and West Virginia University-Parkersburg (WV).
