West Virginia Senators Shelley Moore Capito and Joe Manchin recently announced that West Virginia University Extension Service’s Energy Express program has been awarded more than $1.2 million to support literacy programs for West Virginia youths beginning in summer 2022. The award will continue through 2024 ($1.2 million each year for three years).

Energy Express received the AmeriCorps state award from the Corporation for National and Community Service through Volunteer West Virginia. Each summer, the Energy Express summer reading and nutrition program is led and executed by hundreds of AmeriCorps members, as well as community volunteers, who provide life-changing experiences for nearly 3,000 youths living in rural and low-income communities throughout West Virginia. WVU county Extension agents, along with the state Energy Express team, partner with school systems and others to bring this program to West Virginia communities.

During the free, six-week program participants engage in art, STEM, literacy, games and other activities that help them hone their reading and comprehension skills. Through partnerships with local, state and community organizations, the program also provides nutritious meals for the students—meals that they may not otherwise receive.

“The awarding of this AmeriCorps grant is very exciting news for Energy Express following some very challenging times. This award will allow us to continue the traditions of our program that make it so exciting for our children, but also gives us the opportunity to focus on innovation and creativity in building our program for the future,” Mark Swiger, director of WVU Extension Service Energy Express, said. “Energy Express has a 27-year history of blending learning with nutrition through a program focused on national service. We’re proud of the work being done through the efforts of our county WVU Extension agents, site supervisors, mentors and local partnerships, and are grateful for their undying commitment to the children of West Virginia. This is an exciting time for Energy Express.”

In 2020, the pandemic eliminated the opportunity for in-person programming and remote platforms were incorporated, bringing value-added benefits to the program. More than 2,400 children across 38 West Virginia counties participated in the program last year, with 65% of those children maintaining or increasing their reading achievement levels. In addition, the Energy Express program distributed more than 30,200 take-home books related to the weekly theme, and WVU Extension Service and West Virginia Public Broadcasting partnered to bring Energy Express programming to West Virginia youths and their families in a novel, yet engaging, format – all from the safety and comfort of their home.

“We want to thank Senators Capito and Manchin for their unwavering support of the continuation of the AmeriCorps program. Without it, we would have not been able to compete for AmeriCorps funding for Energy Express,” WVU Vice President for Strategic Initiatives Rob Alsop said. “We know that having strong reading skills provides a foundation for future success. Energy Express provides West Virginia children with a fun learning environment where they can use creativity and imagination to overcome the ‘summer slide’ that often occurs when youths fall behind academically between school years. This award is wonderful news for WVU, the Energy Express program and the young people it serves.”

The 2021 summer program runs from June 21 to July 30 and will be offered at nearly 50 sites throughout West Virginia. Children entering first through fourth grade (as of fall 2021) are eligible to participate in the program.

Energy Express is an award-winning program under the leadership of WVU Extension Service’s Office of the Dean and Director. WVU Extension Service Dean Jorge H. Atiles noted that state, community and local support, coupled with the excellent programming, were critical for this award.

  “ We are grateful to have the support of WVU, community leaders and others who believe in our Energy Express program, and we were fortunate to secure this AmeriCorps grant again after a period of struggling to fund this program,” Atiles said. “Our team worked hard to present a very competitive and compelling proposal that resulted in this funding. We are excited about the future of Energy Express.”

The program is funded, in part, by grants and donations from individuals and private foundations and corporations through the West Virginia University Foundation and Volunteer West Virginia, the lead agency for volunteerism and National Service in West Virginia.

Energy Express is a free award-winning, six-week, summer reading and nutrition program for children in first through sixth grades living in West Virginia’s rural and low-income communities. This program aims to prevent the “summer slide,” in which children regress in their reading skills because they aren’t learning during the summer.

During Energy Express, children statewide increase or maintain their reading levels through creative, colorful and captivating uses of books, art, drama and vocabulary. Volunteers, mentors and staff create a print-rich environment where students have access to books and printed materials, opportunities to read and write, and the chance to explore the meaning of text through engaging activities. Daily read-alouds and take-home books are a staple at Energy Express. This unique approach makes reading interesting and fun for students, motivating them to continue learning.

Our program also provides children with two nutritious meals each day during the program, helping to ensure our youths are fed each day even after the school year comes to an end. 

Energy Express will run from  June 17 to July 26, 2024.

If you’re a parent looking to register your child for Energy Express,  contact your local WVU Extension office . Energy Express is offered in various counties at select  locations .

More information on residency requirements in the academic calendar.

Transient coursework/transferring credits

Transient coursework is any coursework taken by a currently enrolled WVU student at another institution. Students are limited to take a total of 18 credit hours in transient, and only 9 of which may be major specific requirements.

For more information regarding transient coursework and related policies see the academic calendar .

If you are a current WVU student who wants to take credits at another regionally-accredited institution, the first step is to see your academic advisor to get permission to begin the process. Once you know what courses you want to take, you and your advisor can access the transfer credit database to determine the available transient credit courses. Any courses not found in this database, may be requested to be added via the Transfer Equivalency Review Request (TERR) . For more details, see the Transient Credit Approval Process .

You are considered a readmitted student if you have been away from the University for at least one semester excluding the summer terms. More information on readmitted students .

Navigating Absences and Emergencies

Attendance policies.

The academic catalog fully explains each aspect of the absence types; below provides a brief overview for ease of information navigation. Outside of any accommodations formally granted through the Office of Accessibility Services or ADA Coordinator and implemented with the instructor (or supervisor in the case of student employment), all determinations of ability to make up missed work due to absence is at the discretion of the instructor. Per the University policy, instructors are able to ask for third party documentation.

• Undergraduate Catalog - attendance policy
• Graduate Catalog - attendance policy

University Sanctioned Absences

University sanctioned absences are absences in which instructors provide opportunities to make up missed substantial class work or activities (e.g., assignments, exams) and will not penalize students for those absences.

Examples of university sanctioned absences:

• Mandatory court appearances
• Mandatory military obligations
• Participation in university activities at the request of university authorities

Excused Absences

Other events may justify an excused absence at the discretion of the instructor or program, school, or college. Instructors appropriately notified regarding anticipated absences that are not university sanctioned may use their judgment as to whether to allow make-up work. Quarantined students are expected to complete class work and activities as assigned.

Examples of excused absences:

• Medical appointments or general illness
• COVID-19 related absences
• Illness or death of an immediate family member
• Religious observances
• Extreme weather

Students that experience chronic or reoccurring illness are encouraged to register with the Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) for formal accommodations related to class participation and absences.

Military Leave Policy

WVU supports its students who are also members of the United States armed forces, reserve units, and National Guard. Absences of less than three weeks of course work for military obligation (i.e. drill or training) are university sanctioned absences. WVU’s Center for Veteran, Military, and Family Programs has additional information on the drill schedule for the West Virginia National Guard and can provide official verification of student’s military orders upon request.

Students who will miss more than three weeks of course work due to military obligation should notify faculty members of the circumstances of their absence as far in advance as possible and work with faculty members to agree upon a plan of action.

Students who receive orders with sufficient advance notice are expected to notify their professors of their upcoming deployment date and meet with their professors to come to an agreement on what regular course assignments they can reasonably complete prior to the deployment date. The details of this arrangement should be included in a contract initialed by both the instructor and the student and kept on file in the Dean’s Office. Students should not be penalized for not completing assignments, quizzes, tests, or exams due after their deployment date.

For more information: catalog.wvu.edu/undergraduate/enrollmentandregistration/#Military_Credit

Campus and Community Life Assistance

Students who encounter extreme circumstances that necessitate short-term absence, such as a death in the immediate family or hospitalization, should contact the Office of Campus and Community Life at 304-293-5611 . The Office of Campus and Community Life will notify instructors of imminent absence in situations in which the student is unable to do so. Please note that the Office of Campus and Community Life does not "excuse" absences but will communicate to instructors for notification purposes only.

For more information view the University's Attendance Policy

Emergency Leave Policy

During any semester, students may experience serious emergencies that will prevent them to be present in class or participate in a course for more than a week.

Short Term Leave (1 – 3 weeks)

Up to 13th week of instruction:

• Can withdraw from one or several classes.
• Must work with their instructor to develop a plan to catch up on work that they have missed.

After the 13th week of instruction:

• Students may petition the Dean of the College, where the course is housed to obtain a late withdrawal from a single class.
• Students who wish to withdraw from all their classes can petition the Dean of the College where their major is housed for a full, retroactive withdrawal.
• Request an Incomplete (see next section)

Long Term Leave (3+ weeks)

• Notify Dean of College to facilitate with instructors a plan of action to catch up on work that they have missed.
• May receive a grade if the course is substantially complete.
• Notify Dean of College for an administrative withdraw.

For more information: catalog.wvu.edu/undergraduate/enrollmentandregistration/#Emergency

A grade of “I” (Incomplete) is a temporary grade assignment used when unforeseen, non-academic circumstances arise that prohibit students from completing the last course assignments or examinations at the end of the semester. Generally, the student will have been active in the course up until the last day of the 13th week of classes and earned at least a “D-“ to be eligible to request an incomplete.

Leave of Absence

Graduate students in good standing who wish to be away from their academic endeavors at WVU for one or more semesters but intend to return at a later date may request a leave of absence. Students should consult with their program or school/college concerning the required procedure to request a leave of absence.

Some programs (such as some master’s programs or part-time programs) may not require students to request a leave of absence in order to enroll intermittently and remain in good standing. Doctoral students admitted to candidacy who do not wish to enroll for one or more semesters must be granted a leave of absence in order to maintain their candidacy. Leaves of absence are not required for summer terms unless otherwise specified by a student’s program.

When possible, requests for leaves of absence should be submitted in writing to students' program directors or department chairs prior to the beginning of the semester for which the leave is desired. Program directors or department chairs (or their designees) determine whether or not to grant leaves of absence, the length of time granted, and any conditions students must meet to return to their program following the leave of absence (including a date by which students must inform their program that they plan to return). Students are informed in writing of the outcome of their requests, and copies of the outcomes are retained in students' departmental or program records.

General considerations when withdrawing from courses:

Academic Considerations

• Students who wish to withdraw from one or more courses are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor.
• Students should determine if t heir course load would be reduced below the minimum requirement set by their program.
• If a student is enrolled in two co-requisite courses (courses that must be taken and completed simultaneously) and withdraws from one of those courses, the student will be automatically withdrawn from the other co-requisite course as well.
• If withdrawal from the University for a semester would jeopardize the student’s standing in a particular program or major, the student should speak with their academic advisor about their options.

Financial Considerations

• Students should contact the appropriate office to determine if their course load might be reduced below the minimum hours required to qualify for financial aid, scholarships, international full-time student status, or a graduate assistantship or fellowship.
• Students who receive financial aid, veteran benefits, or scholarships should consult with the appropriate unit to see if the withdrawal will affect their status for the current or subsequent terms.
• Reminder that there may be financial aid, scholarship, and loan implications for withdrawing and changing class/majors. If you are receiving funds from any of those sources, it is recommended that you speak with the HUB (304-293-1988)
• It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all outstanding financial obligations to the University are satisfied and all required forms are received and processed. The withdrawal becomes official only after the request is received and processed by the appropriate institutional officer.
• Students must maintain a level of academic progress toward completing their degree or teacher certification to retain eligibility for aid - including student loans, parent loans, federal work study, and grants. Changing or withdrawing from a class could affect Satisfactory Academic Progress.
• undergraduate.wvu.edu/student-resources/probation-and-suspension
• financialaid.wvu.edu/home/maintain/academic-progress
• financialaid.wvu.edu/home/maintain/academic-progress/sap-faqs

Housing Considerations

• Students withdrawing from all of their courses in a term who are living in University residential housing should vacate housing and turn in keys via the proper procedure. Check with the main desk at the residential hall for procedural details.
• Withdrawing does not terminate a lease for students who live in University apartments or off-campus housing

Aetna Health Insurance Considerations

Students enrolled in the WVU-sponsored Aetna health insurance plan who withdraw from the University or drop below the eligibility requirements:

• BEFORE the add/drop date will be eligible for a full refund of the insurance fee and un-enrolled in the health insurance plan.
• AFTER the add/drop date during the fall semester will maintain their insurance coverage through the end of the calendar year and will NOT be eligible for a refund.
• AFTER the add/drop date during the spring or summer semesters will maintain their insurance coverage through the end of the plan year and will NOT be eligible for a refund.

Other Considerations

As you transition out of Morgantown, there are some things you want to consider/accounts to close:

• Discuss moving out with your landlord/roommates – what will happen to your end of the lease, do you need to find a sublet
• Do you need to take any utilities out of your name or close accounts?
• Do you have a parking permit/agreement to end?
• What accounts are better to close in person (e.g., local bank account)
• Forward your local mail to your permanent address

Withdrawal during the Drop/Add period

Students may withdraw from an individual course or all courses during the drop/add period, without receiving a “W” on their transcript, which runs until the end of the first week of a standard fall or spring 16-week term. Courses that are not 16-weeks in duration will have different drop/add periods. See timeline here: registrar.wvu.edu/calendars/add-and-drop-dates

To withdraw from one or more courses by the withdrawal deadline, students should log on to the WVU Portal accessible at https://portal.wvu.edu and drop their courses through STAR. Students may also email the Office of the University Registrar ( [email protected] ) from their WVU MIX email account requesting to withdraw from one or multiple courses before the withdrawal deadline.

Withdrawal by the Withdrawal Deadline

Generally, students can withdraw from one or more courses after the Drop/Add period but prior to the withdrawal deadline published in the University Calendar (during the 13th week of instruction for 16-week courses during the spring and fall terms). A grade of W will be recorded on the transcript, indicating the student withdrew from the course. The grade point average is not affected, but student progress within an identified major may be impacted, as well as the ability to retain financial aid. Additional information can be found about withdrawing from courses here: financialaid.wvu.edu/home/maintain/withdrawing . Students who do not formally drop or withdrawal from a course they are no longer attending will receive an earned grade for the course.

Students who withdraw from all courses prior to the middle of the semester may be entitled to have their tuition and fees reduced. For more information, please refer to the tuition reduction schedule here:  studentaccounts.wvu.edu/refunds/withdrawal .

How to Withdraw

To withdraw go to portal.wvu.edu and then click STAR

• Click on “Student Services & Housing”
• Click on “Registration”
• Click on “Access Registration Tools” (this will open a new screen in Banner)

• In the bottom right hand window section called “Summary”
• Use the drop-down menu options under the “Action” column to select “Course Dropped with ‘W’”
• Do this for every class and then click the “submit” button in the bottom right corner

Retroactive Withdrawal

Withdrawal from all courses after the withdrawal deadline is considered a retroactive withdrawal from the University for that term. A retroactive withdrawal for one or more terms may be granted only under extreme circumstances and will require the approval of the academic college or unit in which the student was enrolled for the respective term(s). The retroactive withdrawal must be requested within 12 months of the withdrawal deadline for the term in question. If the withdrawal is granted, a grade of W will be recorded on the transcript for each course. A withdrawal from all courses constitutes withdrawal from the University for the approved term only.

To withdraw from the term after the withdrawal deadline, a student must request the retroactive withdrawal in writing from the college dean or designee. A successful petition will demonstrate that the student’s performance was uncharacteristically low for that term, that the extreme circumstances arose after the withdrawal deadline, and that the student can now make satisfactory progress.

Academic Appeals

Probation, suspension, and dismissal based on gpa.

At the conclusion of the fall or spring term, students with an overall GPA below 2.0 are sent a probation letter from the Office of the University Registrar (OUR) or appropriate office via e-mail to their MIX account. This communication informs the student that they have been placed on probation effective for the end of the current term. Students on academic probation will be placed on contract by their College and required to complete specific academic requirements.

catalog.wvu.edu/undergraduate/coursecreditstermsclassification/#Probation%20Procedures

The accumulation of probationary terms may result in suspension at the end of the Fall and Spring term if the student has a GPA below 2.0. Students are suspended only after a regular term.

• First Suspension: students who earn an overall GPA lower than a 2.0 for three regular terms (consecutive or not) will be placed on Academic Suspension for one calendar year.
• Second Suspension: after returning from their first suspension, students who earn an overall GPA lower than a 2.0 for two additional regular terms (consecutive or not) will be placed on Academic Suspension for one calendar year
• Third Suspension: after returning from their second suspension, students who earn an overall GPA lower than a 2.0 for two additional regular terms (consecutive or not) will be placed on Academic Suspension for three calendar years.
• catalog.wvu.edu/undergraduate/coursecreditstermsclassification/#Suspension%20Procedures

Suspended students have until late December or early June (exact date specified in the emailed notice of suspension) to appeal the suspension by following the appropriate workflow as described in the notice of suspension. Students who appeal their suspension and are denied, or who do not appeal it, will be removed from their Spring or Fall term courses.  For more information regarding Academic Probation, Suspension and Suspension Appeals , please visit the Academic Strategies, Curriculum and Assessment website.

• Undergraduates: undergraduate.wvu.edu/strategies/probation-and-suspension/faqs#appealing-your-suspension
• Graduates: catalog.wvu.edu/graduate/enrollmentandregistration/#appealstext

Additionally, suspended students may register for courses at any WVU campus in Winter Intersession immediately following a fall suspension or Summer immediately following a spring suspension. If a student improves their overall GPA to a 2.00 or higher, they can continue their studies in the next regular term. However, the suspension still counts as a prior suspension.
