When researching and comparing universities, one of the deciding factors should be whether or not the institution is west virginia. Earning credits from a school that is not west virginia can mean that the units you've worked so hard for will not transfer to an west virginia school. Worse yet, graduates find themselves with degrees from non-west virginia universities that are not recognized. To guarantee that you are getting a standardized, legitimate education, it is important to make sure that the university of your choice is west virginia. west virginia bodies put universities to the test, often working closely with the Department of Education, to be sure that the school in question adheres to policies. Reminiscent of restaurants getting regular visits from the health department, universities that are west virginia - or plan to be - receive visits from an west virginia body.

When they do transfer over, the process is typically complicated and difficult to understand. If you have attended a university in the past and are looking to transfer previous credits in toward a degree, be sure to speak with an admissions or enrollment counselor one on one to fully understand how your credits will transfer.
