The college application requirements of West Liberty University are in accordance with the Undergraduate Institutional Policies of the Higher Education Policy Commission.

In addition to these college application requirements, there may be special requirements for admission into programs such as Dental Hygiene, Medical Laboratory Sciences, Nursing, Music, Teacher Education, Regents Bachelor or Arts Programs, BLA, BAS and Graduate Studies. Please refer to the specific site pages for the special requirements in these fields.

Application Fee

No undergraduate application fee is required.

Immunization Requirement

Students must show proof of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccination by uploading the record to your Student Health Portal. For more information, students can visit the Student Health Services on the web.

Transfer Clearance Form
The Transfer Clearance Form is required of all students transferring from another institution and is necessary in order to register for classes.

Criminal Background Check

As part of the admission process at West Liberty University, applicants are asked to disclose if they have a criminal record.  This information may be used in determining final acceptance to West Liberty University.

Generally, only felonies or violent crimes committed in the five years prior to application will be considered.  However, this does not preclude the University from considering other crimes or crimes committed longer than five years ago in the admissions decision.

If an applicant has been denied admission due to a crime conviction, he/she will be notified and will have the option to appeal this decision to the Admissions & Credits Committee.

Residency Classification

Students enrolling in a West Virginia public institution of higher education shall be assigned a residency status for admission, tuition, and fee purposes by the institutional officer designated by the president. In determining residency classification, the issue is essentially one of domicile. In general, the domicile of a person is that person’s true, fixed, permanent home and place of habitation. The decision shall be based upon information furnished by the student and all other relevant information. The designated officer is authorized to require such written documents, affidavits, verification, or other evidence as is deemed necessary to establish the domicile of a student. The burden of establishing domicile for admission, tuition, and fee purposes is upon the student.
