Social Media Participation

Social media platforms are an engaging place where our Winona State community can connect with each other, share thoughts, ideas, and resources. It’s also a place where potential students can learn more about our campus culture and about one another.

To keep our social sites lively, interesting, and welcoming, we ask that content shared on Winona State social channels is relevant to our WSU community and that all participants comply with our participation guidelines.

Public comments and content posted to WSU’s social media sites do not represent the opinions of the Winona State University.

Student Conduct

WSU prioritizes the safety and well-being of members of the university community. Student Conduct Policies ensure that all students uphold both the academic and personal standards that come along with being a part of the WSU community.  

A violation of any WSU Conduct Policy may result in the student being referred to the University’s conduct system, regardless of any action taken by civil authorities.

Members of the university community are subject to all state, county, and municipal laws/ordinances regulating the sale and use of alcoholic beverages and illegal substances, as well as WSU regulations pertaining to the same.
