In this section:

  • Application Process
  • Aid Offer Notification
  • Employment Opportunities

To receive an aid offer, a student must be admitted as a degree-seeking student within the WVU System. Students who take courses at a WVU campus but who are not pursuing a degree may be eligible for limited Federal Direct Loans if they meet certain criteria. Students with financial needs should apply as early as possible.

Application Process 

To apply for federal and some state and institutional aid, students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). For steps that need to be taken in preparation, see our Preparing for the FAFSA webpage. See our Complete the FAFSA webpage for information on submitting the FAFSA and priority deadlines. WVU will only receive students' FAFSA information electronically, if students include the WVU System school code (003827) on the FAFSA. 

Aid Offer Notification 

WVU will receive students' FAFSA information electronically if students include the WVU System's school code (003827) on the FAFSA when they submit. Students should monitor their MIX email account after submitting the FAFSA - that is where they will be notified of any additional tasks they may need to complete and where financial aid offer notifications will be sent once available.

Employment Opportunities

Students are encouraged to use the job search database on the WVU Career Services Center website to search for on- and off-campus part-time employment opportunities.

In this section:

  • Satisfactory Academic Progress
  • Consequences of Withdrawal

Satisfactory Academic Progress 

Students must make measurable academic progress toward degree completion to remain eligible for most financial aid programs. Federal regulations require that students meet minimum standards for grade point average, successfully complete a minimum percentage of attempted credit hours, and complete their degree within a certain amount of attempted credit hours. The complete Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy is available online.

Consequences of Withdrawal  

If a student receives federal, state, or institutional financial aid and withdraws from all classes during the semester, the student may be required to return all or a portion of their financial aid even if it has already disbursed as payment on the student’s account. Refer to our Withdrawing from Courses webpage for more information. Withdrawing from one or more classes may also impact future financial aid eligibility per the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
