GSU License Plates
Glenville State University alumni, friends, employees, and students who reside in West Virginia are invited to submit a preliminary interest application for a special Glenville State University license plate. Preliminary interest applications are being accepted through August 3, 2026.
This will be an actual specialty plate created and issued by the WV Department of Motor Vehicles. When the University receives the first 100 preliminary interest applications, final design and production of the license plate will begin.

Additional Information
- What is the cost?
A payment of $91.50 will cover the cost of the license plate for the first year or portion of the first year. If you wish to pay online by credit card, a non-refundable credit card fee of $3.00 will be added making the total $94.50.
These plates will expire July 1st of each year. This is a flat fee for all applicants and is not prorated. This initial application process is only to determine whether GSU has the minimum level of interest to pursue the design and manufacturing of the new license plate. Please continue to renew your current WV license plate during this process.

After submitting your application, you should receive an email confirming receipt. When the minimum pre-order threshold of 100 has been met, we will communicate with all applicants and confirm that the process is moving forward. A final update will be provided when plates have gone into production.
- Do I need to keep my current plates active if I am submitting my interest pre-order?
