  1. International student drop hold

To prevent international students from falling out of status by dropping below full-time enrollment, a registration drop hold was placed on all international students’ WSU accounts. 

You will need to request all drops/withdraws through International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS). You can do this by completing the Drop/Withdraw form under “Enrollment Change Forms” on mypassport.wsu.edu. For campuses other than Pullman, please contact your local DSO.  

This hold does NOT impact your ability to add classes for either fall 2022 or future terms!

  1. Important deadlines

Please review the Academic Calendar for all important dates! You can find the calendar here: registrar.wsu.edu/academic-calendar/. Academic deadlines are nonnegotiable, so please plan appropriately for any requests.
