West Virginia University students, including those on the WVU Potomac State campus, will be able to more easily focus on transitioning to online courses during the COVID-19 outbreak instead of being troubled about maintaining their scholarship eligibility during the end of the spring semester, as the University system has taken steps to continue making higher education affordable.
WVU, including the Potomac State College campus, will reduce the minimum grade point average to 2.75 for all merit-based scholarships, making it easier for students, parents, faculty and staff to know the renewal requirements. However, students will still need to earn 30 hours per academic year.
Due to ever-growing global concerns
regarding COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus, WVU Potomac State College
will follow the lead of the Morgantown campus by implementing proactive
measures, which means all on-campus events have been canceled through April 9,
including, the Mineral County Maple Market (March 21); the STEM Festival (March
28); and the on-stage production of Disney’s High School Musical (March
20-29), among others.
Refunds to individuals who bought tickets
on Eventbrite for the College’s on-stage performance of Disney’s High School
Musical have already been requested by the College and people should see
their refunds within seven business days.
