West Virginia University (WVU) has become the first higher education institution in the state to adopt a “test-optional” admission policy in an effort to reduce the “stress” of the college application process for students.

Test scores as part of the admissions process for WVU were temporarily made optional ahead of the fall 2020 semester during the COVID-19 pandemic when various restrictions prevented students from taking either the ACT or SAT.
