Do i need to wait a certain amount of time b4 i can graduate as a transfer form WVU? if i transfer as a senior?

i am wanting to transfer to WVU as a senior bc of money problems. is there any rule about how long i need to wait until i can graduate?|||At some schools, yes.





At some schools, you have to spend a certain amount of time "in residence" at the institution before you can qualify to graduate.





From the West Virginia University student handbook:





"A transfer student who has completed undergraduate work at another school in the West Virginia system of higher education must complete either his or her last 30 hours of work at WVU or at least 36 hours of work at WVU, of which 16 of the last 32 hours must be on campus. A transfer student whose undergraduate work has been completed outside the West Virginia system of higher education must complete a total of 90 hours or at least the last 30 hours of work in residence at WVU. The student may be required to earn up to 15 hours in the major field, regardless of the number of hours or the nature of the courses transferred."





So you will have to earn the last 30 hours in residence at WVU, and you may be required to complete 15 hours in your major there. That will probably not take you any longer than the year it would've already taken you to finish your senior year.
