Transfer

To identify how evaluated coursework transfers to WVU, please reference the transfer credit database (downloading and installing the launcher is required).

If you are having difficulties opening the database, you may access the established equivalencies in the following Excel spreadsheet .

Institutions and courses that are not found within the database simply have not been evaluated at this point. Coursework may be evaluated using WVU's Transfer Equivalency Review Request (TERR) system.

Prior to submitting a request, you must make use of TESS, Transferology, and the internal course database.

Courses may be evaluated and added to the WVU Transfer Credit Database by utilizing the Transfer Equivalency Review Request (TERR) system. Generally review can take on average 10 business days.

The WVU Office of the Registrar is able to determine certain equivalencies at the 100/1000 (freshman) and 200/2000 (sophomore) level. If you have not begun working with our office, and have 5 or more courses at or below the 200/2000 level, please utilize the following spreadsheet and email us the list for an initial review. You will be notified of our findings, and if further review through TERR is necessary.

Students who are unable to obtain syllabi from their transfer institution may request an official request letter from our office. Please send an sending an email to us indicating the institution and courses being requested.

Please review the requirements for submitting a request as incomplete requests will cause a delay in evaluation.

Students who wish to appeal the University's evaluation of transfer credit may do so on a case by case basis within one semester of transferring to WVU. To submit a request simply email transfercredit@mail.wvu.edu outlining your appeal with specific information about the course in question.
