Reminders, deadlines and events

* In an effort to align the Wichita State tuition assistance program to the KBOR Strategic Plan (Foresight 2020), changes are being made to the program beginning with the fall 2018 semester. With the changes, eligibility will expand for dependents, and employees and dependents will have more flexibility in how they use the tuition assistance benefit. The application forms have also been consolidated, so there is now only one form for employee, spouse and dependents. A side-by-side comparison of the changes is available at https://wsu.news/tuitionassist. For questions, please contact tuitionassistance@wichita.edu.
