I Have Been Admitted...What Happens Now?

It is time to embark on your brand new journey as a WVU High School ACCESS student. We want diverse and motivated students from all over the country to begin their exciting journeys with our program. Please continue to share this opportunity with your friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues! 
Now that you are an admitted student to the WVU HS ACCESS Program, we encourage you to log into your WVU Portal (portal.wvu.edu) and eCampus systems (ecampus.wvu.edu) to take a tutorial. 
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.
