Announcements
Students whose eCampus access was revoked due to non-payment must submit the Request to Remain Enrolled for Fall 2020 by today (Sept. 8) at 4:45 p.m. EDT if they wish to remain enrolled in their fall courses.
After an announcement Monday (Sept. 7) that most undergraduate, in-person classes on the Morgantown campus will move online for two weeks, President Gordon Gee detailed plans for the transition in a letter to the University community.
The WVU Employee Relations team recognizes many employees may have questions about what WVU’s decision to temporarily shift most undergraduate courses online means for faculty and staff, and we wanted to provide supervisors with additional guidance.
Twenty-nine West Virginia University students are being placed on immediate interim suspension amid ongoing COVID-19-related investigations. Additional sanctions are pending as investigations continue. The latest actions follow more reports to the University and social media posts showing large parties Friday and Saturday nights (Sept. 4-5) at fraternities not recognized by WVU.
After careful consideration, West Virginia University has elected to forgo participation in the payroll tax deferral program. This decision was based in part on concern of the potential detrimental impact to our employees when the repayment of Social Security tax would be collected during the January through April 2021 time period.
