Country Specific Information for Bangladesh

  • Enrollment Deposit Requirement

    • WSU assesses a $7,000 deposit on those applicants: (1) who are physically located in Bangladesh at the time they submit their application; and/or (2) who provide transcripts from schools or documents from banks located in Bangladesh.

    • If accepted, the $7,000 enrollment deposit must be paid before an I-20 is issued. To improve your chances of getting a visa, you I-20 will show that you paid the enrollment deposit.

    • Details on our enrollment deposit, how to pay, and refund requirements can be found at the bottom of this web page.
  • Transcripts or Marksheets Required:
    • Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC).
    • Front and Back of all transcripts.
    • Transcripts from all colleges or universities you have attended or are now attending – even if you do not want transfer credit.
  • To be Official: Transcripts must be an original or photocopy stamped/signed by a school official, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Education, other government authority or Education USA. Transcripts may NOT be stamped "Issued to student." Attestations by notary publics are NOT accepted.
  • Translations: Original transcripts not in English must be accompanied by an official translation in the same format and stamped by a qualified translator. Translations by students are not accepted.
  • Transcripts from U.S. or Canadian Schools: Must be sent to us directly from the school by mail or through a service such as Parchment, National Clearinghouse, or Digitary.
  • Failure to List All Schools: If you do not list all schools on your application, you will be expelled, denied admission, or refused transfer credit.
  • Falsified Documents: You will be denied admission or expelled if you send falsified transcripts, bank statements, or any other documents.
  • Transcript Retention Policy: All transcripts will be destroyed after they are scanned into our computer system.
  • Address for Transcripts and Application Materials:
    Office of International Education
    Wichita State University
    1845 Fairmount Street
    Wichita, Kansas 67260-0122
    USA
    Telephone for Express Mail: 1-316-978-3232
  • Electronically Submit Your Application Materials: Follow the step-by-step instructions on the How to Apply webpage. You are required to submit final, official educational records after admission. You may present the final document(s) after arrival in Wichita, but the check-in process will be faster if official copies are sent prior to arrival. It is especially important for students with transfer credit to submit official copies of educational records as soon as possible to facilitate the transfer credit process. Without official copies of your educational records you can enroll for one semester only.
Enrollment Deposit Policy

  • If admissible, the student will receive a scanned letter indicating they are admissible and an I-20 will be prepared once the enrollment deposit is received.

  • If a student enrolls in classes at WSU but owes less than the US$7,000 deposit paid previously, the overpayment will not be refunded. Instead, the overpayment will be applied to the student's next semester of enrollment.

  • If a student transfers to another institution after completing their first semester of enrollment at WSU, he or she will not be eligible for a refund of any balance left in their account.

  • The enrollment deposit can be made by a wired payment for those outside of the United State. Click here for how to pay with a wired payment. If you or your family has a bank account in the U.S., you can make direct deposit. You will need to login to myWSU and follow the instructions on How do I set up direct deposit? webpage. If you have difficulties logging in to your myWSU, you may contact IT support on helpdesk@wichita.edu for assistance.

Refund Policy

The deposit will be used to pay for the student’s tuition, fees, on-campus housing, and medical insurance after the student has enrolled. If the student fails to enroll, the enrollment deposit is not refundable unless the student completes a Refund Request Form and agrees to the following terms:
- By requesting a refund, the student’s admission and I-20 will be automatically canceled. Once canceled, the I-20 cannot be used to enter the U.S.
- Before issuing a refund, Wichita State University will look in SEVIS, a U.S. federal database, to confirm that the student’s I-20 was not used to enter the U.S. If the I-20 was used to enter the U.S., the student will not be eligible for a refund of the enrollment deposit.
- Payments that were made more than two years ago could have been sent to the State of Kansas as unclaimed property. In that case, students will need to contact the State of Kansas to request a refund.
- Refunds may take up to 60 days to be processed.

Refund Methods
If an applicant qualifies for a refund, the money will be sent as follows:
1) If the original payment was made by credit card, the refund will be credited to the same credit card.
2) If the original payment was made by international wire transfer through Flywire (formerly peerTransfer), the refund will be processed through Flywire.
3) If the original payment was made by a U.S. bank check, the refund will be processed through direct deposit to the U.S. bank account upon the student setting up eRefund in myWSU.
4) If the original payment was made by bank draft or money order, the refund will be returned by direct deposit to a U.S. bank account assigned by the student who applied for admission (regardless of who actually paid the money).
