Congratulations to the students who were honored with Dean’s or President’s List academic honors for the Spring 2019 term.
The President’s List honors students with an Institutional GPA for the term that is equal to 4.0. Students must have a term institutional GPA that falls between 3.50 and 3.99 to qualify for the Dean’s List. For either list, qualifying students must have completed a minimum of 12 credit hours of coursework and cannot have a “W” and “I.”
WVU Tech 2019 New Student Orientation program welcomed nearly 300 new students to campus for a three-day orientation program. New students moved into their residence halls, participated in orientation sessions, attended the official convocation ceremony and contributed more than 1,000 of local community service.
As students and employees
return to WVU Tech's campus, university administrators want to alert the
community to increases in vehicle and pedestrian traffic on and around
campus.
This weekend, new students
and their families will be moving into campus residence halls. Local travelers
should be aware of the increase in traffic and watch for sudden stops as
families move in and out of loading zones.
Classes officially begin on Wednesday, August 21, which will mark a much larger
increase in traffic for the area.
The WVU Tech community asks drivers in the area to use extra caution while
traveling along S. Kanawha and Church streets this year. Last year, the main
roads adjacent to campus saw a number of motor vehicle accidents and
"near-misses" with pedestrians.
University police will be enforcing the speed limit and the Beckley Police
Department will post a speed monitoring system on S. Kanawha for the first week
of school.
Gov. Jim Justice today (July 3) issued executive orders declaring July 5, 2019 as an official holiday for State employees. The University has modified its holiday calendar to include an additional 7.5-hour “floating” holiday (pro-rated by FTE) for leave-eligible employees, effective July 5, 2019.
WVU will operate on a normal schedule, including classes, Friday, July 5.
