- WSU Pullman dining options December and early January
If you are staying in campus housing, dining services will have limited availability over the University closure. Please visit https://dining.wsu.edu/hours for information on what will be open and business hours.
- F-1 Transfer-Out Request
If you are going to transfer to another U.S. school after this semester, you must notify ISSS of your intent to transfer by completing the Transfer-Out Request form after being admitted to a new program. Your transfer school will not be able to issue you an I-20 until ISSS releases your student record in SEVIS.
The F-1 Transfer-out Request form may be submitted online with your WSU network ID and password: https://mypassport.wsu.edu. The form is titled F-1 Transfer-out Request Form.
If you have any questions related to SEVIS transfer, please meet with an ISSS advisor during the regular open advising hours or by appointment.
- Undergrad: academic deficiency warning
Degree-seeking undergraduate students whose semester and/or cumulative GPA is below 2.0 after fall 2020 may become academically deficient.
Make sure to check your myWSU account when the final grades are posted after finals week. If you become deficient, read the Academic Success and Career Center’s information on academic deficiency and reinstatement.
Graduate students should contact the Graduate School regarding academic deficiency.
- 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.
