Incoming Students
WSU students looking to study away at WSU NSE
We are delighted that you are interested in spending your NSE study away with us at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. Here are some essential details that you will need as you plan your travels.
Placement
Following your nomination and placement with us here at WSU Pullman, you will receive an email from WSU’s NSE Coordinator with critical information on next steps in your placement process.
We will require a few documents (Placement Acceptance Form, current Home Institution transcript, proof of insurance, etc.) to be submitted to us via email at oae.csp@wsu.edu.
WSU NSE Inbound Student Fees
WSU NSE provides administrative support and programming to Inbound students during their stay in Pullman. A $150 Programming Fee will be charged to your WSU account at time of admission.
Application for WSU Admission
WSU NSE Inbound students apply for admission as Non-Degree Seeking Students. We recommend students apply as soon as possible.
Once admitted, you will be assigned a WSU ID number and can set up your myWSU account, required to register for courses.
Course Registration
Pre-Requisites
Some WSU courses require demonstration that a student has taken pre-requisite courses prior to enrollment.
Students are solely responsible for reviewing pre-requisites for courses of interest, and working with WSU NSE Advisor and WSU Registrar to ensure all pre-requisites are documented prior to registration.
This starts by providing WSU with a copy of your transcripts, showing which courses satisfy pre-requisites. Students may be asked to provide syllabi from specific courses to determine equivalency with WSU pre-requisites.
Registration
Students meet with the WSU NSE Advisor to register for courses in August (for students studying away in Fall) or November (for students studying away in Spring).
Please be advised that NSE students register after most degree-seeking students at WSU. Course space is very limited, especially in upper-division courses. We recommend students connect with their Home Campus advisor about multiple alternative course options, to ensure full-time enrollment.
Housing
Students are responsible for procurring housing while in Pullman. WSU offers limited on-campus housing.
- Students who have been admitted to WSU as Non-Degree Seeking may submit a University Housing Application.
- Off-campus housing options can be found in the Off-Campus Housing Marketplace.
