The WVSU Office of Housing and Residence Life invites upper-classmen students who currently live on campus, to return to campus housing for the 2025 – 2026 academic year.
Campus Self Defense Act (§18B-4-5b)

Effective July 1, 2024, the Campus Self Defense Act (§18B-4-5b) takes effect.

The law allows for individuals with valid and current concealed handgun licenses to carry firearms on campus. The law permits WVSU BOG the authority to restrict the carrying of firearms in certain situations on campus such as in residential halls/dorms. WVSU has designated the central storage area for firearms as Sullivan Hall and students choosing to exercise this law will reside in Sullivan Hall and be charged a fee for storage.

For additional information, please utilize the following links West Virginia Code , Frequently Asked Questions , Guide to Concealed Handgun Laws in West Virginia . Our University Police Department can be reached at 304.766.3353 for further insight or if you wish to schedule a meeting.
