NSE applications due Feb. 1 - study and travel!

Hit the books and then the beach with National Student Exchange

Ever wonder what it would be like to hit the books in the morning and hit the beach in the afternoon? Thanks to National Student Exchange (NSE), you can. NSE allows undergraduate, domestic students the opportunity to study at one of nearly 200 universities across the United States and Canada – while paying regular WSU tuition and earning credit toward your degree. The application materials for exchange during fall 2020 and spring 2021 are available at wichita.edu/nse and are due Feb. 1, 2020. If you have questions, please contact Trish Gandu at trish.gandu@wichita.edu.

Important advising information for graduates

Honors Stoles

Students graduating with a Track, University Honors Minor or Honors Baccalaureate are eligible to purchase a Cohen Honors Stole in the WSU Bookstore. You will need to ask a bookstore staff person to get one for you as they are not out on the shelf.

Application for Degree (AFD)

An Application for Degree (AFD) triggers the awarding of your bachelor's degree. Students should submit their AFD at least a semester before they intend to graduate. This gives your academic advisors plenty of time to go in and make sure everything is correct in your audit. You can find your AFD on your MyClasses tab in your MyWSU account below the registration links (right hand side).
