Students admitted in any of the following categories are not eligible for financial aid.
A. Open Admission
If you meet one of the following criteria, you are eligible for open admission and need only complete this application and submit your application fee (check "Open Admission" on application):
- If you have graduated from high school and have not attended any school for two years, OR
- If you have not graduated from high school, are at least 21 years of age, and have not attended any school for two years, OR
- If you are currently on active military duty, OR
- If you hold a baccalaureate or higher degree.
You may take up to 15 credit hours as an open admission student. At the end of the semester in which you earn the fifteenth credit, transcripts are
required.
B. General Non-degree Admission
If you do not fit in the open admission categories, you may be admitted by completing this application and following these procedures:
- If you have no college work -- have your high school send an Official transcript directly to WSU Office of Admissions.
- If you have 24 or more college credits -- have all colleges you have attended send official transcripts directly to WSU Office of Admissions. If you have fewer than 24 credit hours, you must also have your high school transcript sent directly to Wichita State.
C. Guest Admission -- College
If you wish to attend WSU as a college guest on a temporary basis with the work to be used at another institution, check "non-degree college guest" mon the application. For summer guest admission, only the application and the application fee are necessary. For the fall and spring semesters, a transcript sent directly from your home institution showing a 2.00 grade point average (4.00 scale) is required. Guest admission is renewable until you have taken 15 credit hours. To take more than 15 hours, you must submit all transcripts required for degree-bound admission.
D. Guest Admission -- High School
High school students with a cumulative GPA of 2.00 may be eligible for guest admission after completion of their junior year. (Check "non-degree
high school guest" on the application.) Requests for guest admission by younger students will be considered on an individual basis. Students must have their high school transcript, including the semester immediately prior to the semester of guest enrollment, sent directly to Wichita State. Students must also have their high school counselor or principal sign the application for admission. High school guest admission must be renewed each semester by submission of a Guest Renewal form and updated transcript. High school guests may not take more than 6 credit hours per semester without special permission. Admission to WSU does not constitute permission by academic departments to take courses. All prerequisites for courses must be met. Students who have not completed their junior year must contact departments/instructors for permission to enroll. Failure to do so may result in an administrative drop from the course.
Please note: All required transcripts must be sent directly from previous schools and have the school's return address stamped on the envelope. The University cannot accept transcripts that are hand-carried, mailed or faxed by students.
