- Cougar Health Services registration holds. Check your myWSU account
Do you have a Measles, Green Dot or BSRC hold in your myWSU account? If so, these holds can prevent you from registering for the spring 2021 semester and can impact your F-1/J-1 status.
The BSRC workshop is mandatory for all first-year and transfer students (who are under the age of 21 as of Aug. 1) during their first semester on the Pullman campus.
Please contact Cougar Health Services to check how to remove the hold(s) if you have any: https://cougarhealth.wsu.edu/contact-us/
- International Programs office hours winter break – Plan ahead!
ISSS will be available for emergencies only during the University Winter Closure between Dec. 24, 2020, and Jan. 1, 2021. As we will have reduced staff, advising hours (1-3 p.m.) are canceled, and we cannot commit to process requests within the usual 5 days turnaround time. Therefore, PLAN AHEAD if you need to submit a request to our office.
Please email ip.intlservices@wsu.edu for questions or to set up an advising appointment. We will make sure someone from our team is available to help during this time period.
