If you are a one or two-semester exchange student who is completing his/her exchange program and won’t be returning to WU, don’t forget to:
- Request a transcript of courses/grades from the Student One-Stop in Morgan Hall, Suite 101. The cost is $8.00 per transcript.
- Check out of the residence halls/dorms properly. Check with your Resident Assistant (RA) or with the Office of Residential Living in the Living Learning Center (LLC) or Washburn Village for more details. Important: if you will be completing your exchange program in December, you must cancel your housing contract with Residential Living by December 1st.
If you are a degree-seeking student and will be returning to Washburn after the Winter Break or Summer Break, don’t forget the following:
- Get your I-20 (F-1 visa) or DS-2019 (J-1 visa) document signed by Baili, Heidi, Sharon or Andy in the Office of International Programs before you leave the U.S.
- Travel with a valid passport and your current I-20 or DS-2019 document.
- Pay any remaining balance due to WU (tuition, housing, etc.) before you’ll be able to enroll for the next semester.
- If you are planning to travel to a third country, check the U.S. Department of State website regarding travel warnings/advisories for that country
- Provide your travel information/itinerary and contact information to a friend or the Office of International Programs, in case of emergency.
- If you need to renew your visa before returning to the U.S., make sure to apply as early as possible. Find a list of U.S. embassies/consulates and their locations on the U.S. Embassy website .
- Update our office with any change to your local address or contact information.
