West Virginia University (WVU) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most programs, but priority deadlines ensure full consideration. Fall semester applications should be submitted by August 1 for domestic students and April 1 for international applicants. Spring semester deadlines are December 1 (domestic) and October 1 (international). Some programs, like health sciences or graduate studies, may have earlier deadlines.
Prospective students are encouraged to apply at least six months before their intended start date to accommodate processing and visa requirements. Deadlines for scholarships and financial aid often differ, typically falling between January and March for the upcoming academic year.
