Prior Transfer Credit 
Transfer credit refers to any coursework not taken at West Liberty University. The Admissions Office can unofficially evaluate transcripts; however, an official transcript evaluation will be completed once the applicant has been accepted to West Liberty University.  All grades made previously in college-level courses are included in the grade-point calculation, even though there may be low grades in courses for which no credit can be granted.  

Students wishing to receive credit for their military education and training must submit their Joint Services Transcript (JST) to the Registrar’s Office.

Prior transfer and military credit(s) will be officially recorded on the student’s account by mid-term of their initial start term.

Credit for Military Service
Up to four semester hours of credit can be granted to individuals who present a copy of their DD214 after completing a minimum of one year of active duty. Such credit will be recorded on the student’s record after one year of attendance at WLU and the completion of a minimum of 24 hours of credit. These hours will be counted as general electives and will not replace any required courses; the credits will count toward graduation.

In addition to the four credit hours granted, students may be granted specific university credit for coursework completed in the military, if credit is recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE). Students completing university credits need to submit a military transcript to the Registrar’s Office.
