How long can I stop taking courses before I need to reapply?

Whether you need to reapply or reactivate is determined by your previous enrollment at Wichita State University. Students who are reapplying or reactivating for the current semester will be given priority attention.

Former degree-bound students who have attended other institutions must submit official college transcripts to the Registrar's Office from all schools attended since you were last enrolled at WSU.

If you need to reactivate, you will need to log in to the myWSU portal with your WSU ID and password. If you do not know your myWSU ID and/or password, you can request that information through the WSU System Access process found here
