FERPA (Optional)

In compliance with the "Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974" (FERPA), as amended, the following constitutes the institution's policy on providing appropriate access to educational records, while protecting their confidentiality.

Wichita State University accords all rights under the law to students. Those rights are: 1) the right to inspect and review the student's education records; 2) the right to request the amendment of the student's education records to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy or other rights; 3) the right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent; and 4) the right to file with the U.S. Department of Education a complaint concerning alleged failures by Wichita State University to comply with the requirements of FERPA.

You may, at your discretion, grant Wichita State University permission to release information about your student records to a third party by submitting a completed Student Consent to Release Education Records authorization. You must complete a separate form for each third party to whom you grant access to information on your student records.

• Navigate to "FERPA Consent" on your Home Page or on the left navigation panel
• Read the description and complete all fields with information on the third party you are allowing Wichita State University to communicate with in regard to your student records.
• Create an identifier code with the parameters listed. (This is the code that you will give to your parent/guardian so they can communicate with Wichita State University on your behalf).
• Verify all information is accurate, sign (student's signature), and submit.

Unsure of your enrollment status? Check on your Early College Access Portal!

The Wichita State enrollment team will view your course selection(s) and officially enroll you in the course(s) with instructor approval once the unofficial transcript is verified. You can check your enrollment status under the "Enrollment Status" section.

Course Status Descriptions:

• APPLIED: Waiting for supporting documents from High School or Parent Consent.
• APPROVED/NOT APPROVED: High School has reviewed the enrollment request.
• REGISTERED: Registration for the class(es) selected was successful.
• DROP: The class is dropped prior to the start date. This will not show on the student's college transcript.
• WITHDRAW: A withdraw occurs after a class add/drop period and the student is responsible for any outstanding balances. This will appear on the student's college transcript as "W".
• LATE APPLICATION: The application was received after the deadline and will not be processed this term.

You will NOT have a bill on your account until you are fully enrolled by the Registrar Office. Once you are enrolled, you will be notified via email from Wichita State University.

Students receive email notifications monthly at their WSU email address as electronic bills are posted. Currently enrolled students will not receive a paper bill. If you are not currently enrolled and have charges on your account, a bill will be mailed to you. Failure to receive a bill does not relieve students from payment responsibilities.
