How to Apply

Submit Your Application

You can complete your application for Winona State University online.

Pay Your Application Fee

No fee is needed if you are a returning WSU student, transferring from RCTC, or submitted a valid fee waiver request.

Send Your Transcripts

High School Transcripts

Freshman and Transfer Students with less then 24 college credits after high school or if you have attended a technical college only, will need to submit official high school transcripts or GED documentation.

College Transcripts

Request official transcripts from each non-Minnesota State College/University. If you have attended a Minnesota State College/Universities, WSU will retrieve your transcript from our database.

Transcripts can be sent to admissions@winona.edu or mail them to:

WSU Admissions PO Box 5838
Winona, MN 55987-5838

Send Your ACT/SAT Test Scores

Freshman students are required to provide official ACT and SAT test scores to complete your undergraduate application.

Send WSU these scores in two ways:

• Select WSU at your test: ACT code 2162/SAT code: 6680
• Ask ACT or SAT to send an official score to WSU

Expect 7-10 business days for processing your scores once they are received.

Transfer students do not need to send ACT/SAT scores unless they have earned less then 24 transferable college credits.

Track Your Application

Once your application is completed you will have online access to track your application via MyWSU.

Students are mailed a decision 2-3 weeks after all information is received.

You should use myWSU to track your admissions process and RSVP for programs as well as check your email for important messages from WSU.

Remember that admission to WSU does not always mean you are admitted into a major/program.

Heads Up

Your application will not be processed until your transcript, ACT/SAT score and fee are received.

Contact us at WSUFreshman@winona.edu to change addresses, phone numbers or intended college major after you submit an application.
