Marcus Welcome Center

The Office of Admissions is a familiar place to most students at Wichita State. Current students have already worked with Admissions by sending their applications, transcripts and application fees to the office.

Once classes begin, students may explore their educational opportunities with information from Admissions on the National Student Exchange.

National Student Exchange (NSE) is a program that allows WSU students to attend one of nearly 200 colleges and universities across the country for either a semester or a full year while paying their regular WSU tuition. Students have the opportunity to experience a completely different college setting while still working toward their WSU degree. Most scholarships and financial aid the student receives at WSU will still be applicable and course compatibility will be determined before the exchange ever begins. WSU students are also eligible for international exchange opportunities that are available at NSE member institutions. A few of the schools students can exchange to include the University of Connecticut, Louisiana State University, the University of Arizona and California State University, Northridge. Students should contact the Office of Admissions at 978-3085 or stop by the Marcus Welcome Center for further information.

Appointments are the norm, but emergencies will be seen by our urgent care nurse. Immunizations and sudden-onset illnesses can be handled at set/limited times daily.

Student Health Insurance: General

With the pace of life in today ' s world, there is considerable potential for an accident or unexpected illness that could result in catastrophic medical costs. Such costs could jeopardize your university education, career and the financial security of your family. It is therefore recommended that if students do not already have access to some sort of medical coverage, they consider enrolling in a low-cost medical insurance plan. Information about such plans may be obtained from medical insurance providers. There is also information about at least one plan available on campus from Student Health Center (Ahlberg Hall 209), or the International Office (122 Garvey Center).

Health Insurance Mandatory for International Students

In order to make certain that non-immigrant international students attending Wichita State have access to adequate medical care and to provide sufficient financial resources for such students to be able to afford such medical care and to address a possible need to return to their home country, it is deemed appropriate that nonimmigrant students be required to maintain minimum levels of insurance protection.

Wichita State requires that all non-immigrant students have a specified minimum amount of medical insurance protection for every semester they are enrolled as a student at WSU.

Each non-immigrant international student must obtain and maintain medical insurance, from a company authorized to do business in the United States, with the following minimum coverages:

Basic injury and sickness benefits amounting to at least $10,000; A. Major medical coverage in an amount of at least $100,000; B. Coverage to provide for medical evacuation of the student to the student ' s home country; and coverage to provide for repatriation of the student ' s remains to the student ' s home country in case of death.

Failure to obtain and maintain such coverages during the student's time of enrollment will be grounds for discipline up to and including expulsion. Some academic programs also require health insurance. Please check with your adviser.
