Returning After a Leave of Absence

Welcome back to WSU! Follow these steps to complete the process for returning to campus and continuing your studies. 

Complete the Intent to Return Form

Complete an Intent to Return form to re-enroll at WSU

If you are returning following academic suspension you must also complete the Suspension Re-Entry Form and contact the Warrior Success Center. 

Apply for a New I-20

Email the following to ISSS at is@winona.edu:

• A copy of the first page of your passport, which must be valid for at least six months into the future  
• A bank statement that shows that you have sufficient funds to support your studies for one academic year  

WSU cannot pay for your I-20 to be shipped to you. We strongly recommend that you pay for courier delivery from University Express Mail Services.

Pay a New SEVIS Fee

You can pay the SEVIS fee after you receive your new I-20 because you need the new SEVIS number.

Apply for a New F-1 Visa

If your current visa has expired, you will need to complete a new F1 visa application. 

Register for Classes

Register for class in Student Services. Your academic advisor is listed on your DARS. You can also contact ISSS for help.

You may need to reset your StarID password to access e-Services and WSU email.

If you need help, contact Tech Support at techsupport@winona.edu

Enter the U.S. & Activate your SEVIS Record

Check-in with ISSS to activate your SEVIS record. Please bring your passport, I-20 and new mailing address. 

Update Your Mailing Address

Use Student eServices to provide WSU with your new mailing address in the U.S. 

Get Your Laptop

Contact Tech Support at techsupport@winona.edu to see when returning students can make appointments to pick up their laptops.
