"3.1. It is the policy of the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission (Commission) and the
West Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education (Council) that the transfer of credits among public institutions of higher education and with West Virginia private institutions will be completed consistent with appropriate and legitimate academic program integrity. Institutional practice is to ensure that students may transfer and apply toward the requirements for a degree the maximum number of credits earned at an institution that is accredited by a regional, national, programmatic or other accredited body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education with no additional requirements or as few requirements to repeat courses or to take additional courses above those required by a native student to complete the degree, as is consistent with sound academic policy."
- Sections 3.2.b-thru-3.2.e outlines the process and determination of a course’s equivalency from one institution to another.
- 3.2.f. Limitation of not more than 72 credit hours may be accepted and applied toward graduation from any combination of community and junior college credit hours.
By West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission policy: Credits taken in general education for an associate degree will count toward the general education requirements at the bachelor’s degree institution. An exception may exist if the general education courses are substantially different.
