Transcripts

Requests must be submitted for official transcripts to be sent. Check out  go.wvu.edu/psctranscripts  for more information. A $12 charge will be assessed for each official transcript.  

Students changing their campus to WVU Morgantown do not need to request that a transcript be sent since we share a student-information system.

Diplomas

Diplomas will be mailed after all grades are finalized and certified by the Office of Academic Affairs. 

Applying for Graduation

Students may participate in the Commencement ceremonies without completing all graduation requirements if they are no more than six (6) credits short of completing all requirements and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 1.95.  A Graduation Application must be submitted, and no degree will be awarded until requirements are met.
