New student at WSU enrolled in face-to-face classes?
Then you need to check in with ISSS so we can register your SEVIS record and verify with the U.S government that you are in status. Here is what you need to do:
Please log in to myPassport and complete the New Student Check-In e-form. We will need the following two things to register you:
- Student Document Check In
- Emergency Contact
Health Fee charge
The Health Fee is NOT automatically assessed if:
- During the fall/spring, a student is taking less than 7 credits, or
- During the summer, a student is not enrolled.
So, if any of our students, including Fulbright students, are ABD and not on an assistantship (likely enrolled in 2 credits) or if they are not taking classes during the summer, they would need to opt-in for the Health Fee to be seen at CHS/CAPS. They should still be covered under insurance, though.
Tax Information: Coming Soon!
More details about US Federal taxes will be available soon. ISSS is working with WSU’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program to offer free tax help to students.
Important: Keep all forms you receive, like W-2, 1042-S, and 1099-INT, etc. You will need them to file your tax return. For additional tax information, visit our Tax information page.
Note: ISSS does not give tax advice or information on tax treaties. For help, plan to attend a VITA clinic or consult a licensed tax professional.
