Keyser, W.Va. – Following the recommendations from the NJCAA Presidential Advisory Council
and the NJCAA Board of Regents, the NJCAA has announced its adjusted plan of
action for the upcoming 2020-21 academic year. Following the Board of Regents'
vote on Monday, a majority of competition will be moved to the spring semester.
The most recent plan of action shifts all close-contact fall sports to the spring
semester. These sports include men's and women's soccer, and volleyball.
WVU Potomac State College will offer a new exercise physiology major this fall. After earning their two- and four-year degrees, students will have the option to pursue a career in the field or apply to physical therapy and physician assistant programs or medical, dentistry, pharmacy, and other professional schools.
We are looking forward to safely welcoming our West Virginia University family
to campus for the fall semester. During this unprecedented time, we must think
differently and take specific health and safety measures to protect our University
community.
