Student Level - Undergraduate

We received your FAFSA, however, Wichita State has you listed as an undergraduate student, but your FAFSA reflects that you intend to be a graduate student.  

Until this conflict is resolved, we are unable to determine your eligibility for federal student aid.  

How to Resolve the Conflict

If you plan to be a graduate student:

  • Ensure you complete the required admission paperwork for graduate school.  For more information about admission requirements, visit the Graduate School website.
  • You must be admitted as a graduate student to be considered for Federal Student Aid. 

If you plan to be an undergraduate student:

  • Follow the steps below relevant to your specific academic year.
