College Courses for High School Students

Students may take non-restricted courses between 100-299 level during the Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters (English: ENGL 101 or 102 are NOT permitted for the high school students through the WVU Main Campus.)

All undergraduate courses are on a first come, first served basis. A seat is not guaranteed once a course or section is already full/closed.

• Fall semester (August - December)
• Spring semester (January - April)
• Summer terms (May-June; June-August)

During the Fall and Spring semester, most courses are 16 weeks long. The Summer term is divided into two sessions. Students may take courses during either session. 

***Students who have officially graduated from high school in May or June are no longer eligible to participate in the High School ACCESS Program during the WVU Summer sessions.***

All final grades and/or course withdrawals will remain on the student's official academic transcript. We encourage our participating students to maintain satisfactory academic progress in all their attempted undergraduate courses through WVU. Students are subject to dismissal from the program for failure to meet academic standards, or if their overall WVU GPA falls below a 2.0 within two consecutive terms.
