Transfer students: Steps to enroll at Wichita State

Thanks for your interest in Wichita State! We're excited for you to join us here in Shocker Nation. To make that transition easier for you, we've boiled the transfer enrollment process down to the steps outlined below.

This online tool will let you estimate how many credits will transfer to your desired degree program at Wichita State. Prepare yourself to use the Transfer Gateway by having a copy of your unofficial transcripts on hand.

See transfer details for Kansas community colleges.

Apply online at wichita.edu/apply. We’ll need:

• • your completed application,
  • a $40 non-refundable application fee and
  • transcripts from all other colleges and universities you’ve attended

If you have any questions regarding admissions requirements or your admissions status, please call the Office of Admissions at 316-978-3085. Once you've been admitted you'll have a Shocker ID number that will allow you to complete some of the other steps below.

You will need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for federal aid such as grants, scholarships, work-study and loans. Priority deadline for the FAFSA is December 1. But you should submit the FAFSA whether or not you think you qualify for gift aid. Be sure to enter WSU’s school code (001950). Questions can be directed to the Office of Financial Aid at 316-978-3430 or finaid@wichita.edu.

All new students, regardless of the number of credit hours earned, are required to complete a New Student Orientation requirement. Visit the Transfer Student Orientation page on the First Year Programs website to find out more and sign up!
