Residency Checklist

Procedures Following Enrollment

Once a student has enrolled and begins classes, any changes in residency status (for subsequent semesters) are administered by the Washburn University Registrar's Office. Students must complete and submit the "Resident Status Appeal Form" (available on the Washburn University website; 317 KB PDF) before review of residency status can begin.

  • Specific questions regarding residency changes following enrollment should be directed to the Student One Stop center on the first floor of Morgan Hall. Student One Stop can be contacted at (785) 670-2162 or sos@washburn.edu. The Washburn University Registrar's Office can be contacted at (785) 670-1074 or registrar@washburn.edu.

See the Residency Information page on Washburn University's website for more information.
