INSTITUTE, W.Va. – West Virginia State University (WVSU) is temporarily modifying its admissions requirements for the fall 2020 semester in order to give incoming students more time and flexibility in applying.
The modifications to the standard admissions process come as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, which has seen college standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT cancelled or rescheduled for later in the year.
The University’s changes do not lower the bar for admission, but remove potential barriers for students to enroll for the fall semester. WVSU will also work individually with admitted students who have filed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid () to adjust financial aid packages if family financial circumstances have suddenly changed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
“These are unprecedented times, and we must act accordingly to ensure that all students who seek an education from West Virginia State University are able to do so,” said WVSU President Anthony L. Jenkins. “Our commitment to students has never been stronger and these temporary modifications will ensure that we will continue to produce outstanding graduates who will go on to change every environment that they enter.”
