In order to access a MyState account, you must be admitted as a student to West Virginia State University. You will need your student ID number to login. Your student ID number begins with an “A”. You must use a capital letter A. The username is case sensitive. If you experience difficulty logging in our university’s Office of Information Technology can assist.
Students are advised to check their MyState account and West Virginia State University webmail regularly as additional documents may be needed after a student’s financial aid award is available.
Steps to Accept Your Financial Aid Award
When you enter the secure area:
1.) Select “Student and Financial Aid” Tab
2.) Select “Award”
3.) Select “Award For Aid Year” and choose the aid year from the drop down box and click submit
4.) Select “Accept Award Offer” Tab
5.) Accept or Decline all funds that are in the “offered” status
6.) When you have accepted/declined ALL funds click “Submit”
7.) Submit Decision
* Failure to accept/decline all funds will cause your award to partially submit and your registration may not be held. Do not use the “Undecided” option. This will also cause a submission failure on your award.
* Some funds are automatically accepted and do not give you the option to accept or decline. Funds such as Grants and Scholarships may be automatically accepted.
* Students may choose not to accept the full amount of loans offered. If a different loan amount is desired enter specific amount into appropriate box under Accept Partial Award Heading.
If your need to request child care expenses, decline a semester of aid, add summer aid, add an aid resource not listed on your award, accept previously declined awards, or request other changes to your award, please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid.
