MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia University has postponed the deadline to pay some fall charges by one month, to Sept. 1.
The change was made after a phased return for students was announced this week in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The university said the phased return will mean fewer students on the Morgantown campus for in-person classes, with plans to return more students as the semester continues.
Classes on the Morgantown campus will begin Aug. 26, a one-week delay. Classes on the Beckley and Keyser campuses will begin Aug. 19. Residence hall move-in will also be delayed a week, to Aug. 22.
