3. Complete the required attachment upload section found on the second page.

If you are still experiencing difficulties, view these tips for additional help:

  • The applicant and recommender cannot use the same computer.

  • Try using a different internet browser.
  • The file name of the uploaded attachment cannot contain special characters (*&^%$#-,.!?).
  • Attachments should be in PDF (preferred) or Word format.
  • If using a computer that is behind a firewall or other security protocol (employer provided), it may prevent access to the form.

If none of the above fixes the issue, please contact the West Virginia University Office of Graduate Admissions via email at graduateadmissions@mail.wvu.edu.
