Guidelines and Planning

Please contact WSU’s Office of International Programs as soon as possible if you are contemplating an international collaboration and would like advice or assistance. We will help ensure that your efforts are successful.

This form serves to register individual international guests and delegations (multiple guests) who come to Washington State University (WSU) for any length of visit. Visitors must follow all current campus, local, and state laws, and national public health guidelines at the time of their visit. The request form is meant to assist with providing the highest level of support and guidance for a successful visit from WSU for our international colleagues.  Requests should be submitted at least 2-3 months in advance of the visit if possible, considering time for visa and arrival arrangements.

For this form, we consider short-term visits to be from one day to up to 3 months maximum. For visits of more than 3 months, IP will contact the host/requestor with additional questions not listed below.

WSU requires that international guests and delegations visiting laboratories, offices and research environments that are considered potentially export-control sensitive and/or have been identified as performing federally sponsored research or services to which certain publication and/or citizenship restrictions apply, be screened through WSU’s Export Control screening process in advance of the visit. IP will help coordinate this screening.

If you have any questions about any of the information above, please reach out to the Office of International Programs’ Global Partnerships and Research Services department at ip.gprs@wsu.edu or 509-335-4352.
