Ask WSU

I am currently a student at WSU but I am transferring at semester, I was just wondering if you could tell me what I need to do to make sure I don’t forget anything before I leave. I already requested my transcript, but what other steps do I take to leave Winona without having to worry that I didn’t inform the right people and get everything taken care of. Thank you so much for all the help.

Are you leaving Right Now?

If you are transferring, did you apply to a transfer school?

Did you send a transcript (likely send a 2nd after grades are posted)? Current students can request transcripts online through the Registrar’s office

Did you talk with an advisor regarding what classes to take (at your new school)?  Most schools have transfer counseling specialists you will want to work with in making your transition.
