Please take a few minutes to fill out the online survey by Friday, Nov. 22, to give feedback on some of these questions and share your big ideas for the Cohen Honors College.

NSE applications due Feb. 1 - study and travel!
Ever wonder what it would be like to hit the books in the morning and hit the beach in the afternoon? Thanks to National Student Exchange (NSE), you can. NSE allows undergraduate, domestic students the opportunity to study at one of nearly 200 universities across the United States and Canada – while paying regular WSU tuition and earning credit toward your degree. The application materials for exchange during fall 2020 and spring 2021 are available at wichita.edu/nse and are due Feb. 1, 2020. If you have questions, please contact Trish Gandu at trish.gandu@wichita.edu.

Important advising information for graduates
Honors Stoles
Students graduating with a Track, University Honors Minor or Honors Baccalaureate are eligible to purchase a Cohen Honors Stole in the WSU Bookstore. You will need to ask a bookstore staff person to get one for you as they are not out on the shelf.
Application for Degree (AFD)
An Application for Degree (AFD) triggers the awarding of your bachelor's degree. Students
should submit their AFD at least a semester before they intend to graduate. This gives
your academic advisors plenty of time to go in and make sure everything is correct
in your audit. You can find your AFD on your MyClasses tab in your MyWSU account below
the registration links (right hand side).
