Student-Focused Funding Model Implementation

Weighted Credit-Hour Production
70% of total funding
•
Distributes 70 percent of available general appropriation funding based upon the total
number of credit hours West Virginia resident students attempt in a year.
Because instructional costs vary by academic discipline and across academic levels,
weighting factors are applied on a student-level basis to account for these cost variations.
Credit hours attempted by students in high-risk populations, such as the economically
disadvantaged, non-traditional (adult) students, academically underprepared students, and
racial and ethnic minority students, are weighted at a higher rate than those taken by students
with a greater chance of success.
