Help students prepare for spring 2022 enrollment. Many degree programs require meeting with a faculty member or an advisor before enrolling in courses, so encourage students to check their student accounts to help them ensure nothing is preventing them from enrolling.

Please share this news with any students you know or see. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) began Oct. 1. FAFSA allows students to apply for grants, loans and work study funds to pay for college. Students who want to apply are encouraged to submit the FAFSA at fafsa.gov by Dec. 1.

Here’s what you’ll need to complete the FAFSA:

• A social security number.
• Student and parent W-2s received in 2020.
• Student and parent tax returns for 2020 and proof of any other untaxed income.
• Totals of student and parent cash, checking, savings, and investment accounts.
• Student and parent will need to apply for or reset their FSA ID login details at studentaid.gov prior to completing the FAFSA; both will need to sign the FAFSA using the FSA ID.

When completing the FAFSA, be sure to list Wichita State as a school to receive your financial aid information. WSU’s Federal School Code is 001950. You can even complete your FAFSA on your phone by downloading the myStudentAid app from both the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).

If students need assistance, they can set up an appointment with Wichita State’s Financial Aid office at wichita.edu/finaidappt. Click here to see what other events we have planned throughout fall 2021.

Early enrollment for spring 2022 classes begins Nov. 8. Have you checked your myWSU account recently? Do you have any active holds preventing you from enrolling? If so, you will need to use the time between now and the first day of enrollment to clear your holds and complete your requirements so you are eligible to enroll as early as possible.

Depending on your degree program, you may be required to meet with a faculty member or an advisor before enrolling. Don’t know where to go? Visit Wichita State’s Academic Advising website for contact information and locations of our advising centers.

Don’t delay. Schedule an appointment with an academic advisor today.

Tuition assistance applications for spring 2022 are now being accepted through the online application form. The online application will be available through Dec. 1, 2021, and will close at the end of this application period.

The fillable PDF form will no longer be accepted. Due to the volume of applications received each semester, requests to submit late applications will be automatically denied. There will be no exceptions.
