JPS Child Nutrition Refund https://forms.gle/exA8YdaxVmG8m1wU7

JHS seniors: Below is updated info from Wichita State University: this point nothing has changed at this point with our deadlines at Wichita State Admissions. Housing sign-ups are going as planned. If students change their mind and have put down a housing deposit, they have until June 1 to get a refund. They just need to email the Housing Office to request a refund. Orientation sign-ups are at www.wichita.edu/orientation and they are working on a hybrid solution of how we will host orientation and we will let students know more once that is decided. Passage 2 Success – I encourage students from diverse backgrounds to sign up for this on-campus program beginning four days before move-in day. Lots of resources, getting to know each other and the WSU & Wichita communities. More information is at www.wichita.edu/p2s May 1 acceptance deadline for scholarships. But, if a scholarship is WDNA (withdrawn for non-acceptance) it can be restored once they’re enrolled and students can work with me to learn more about that should their decision change. Students should still be able to communicate with National Merit Corporation since that’s an online process. And – as with most of the Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) schools, we have no real deadline to apply and be admitted as long as students allow enough time for processing, orientation, and enrollment before the fall semester begins. Our office is still processing applications, transcripts, admission acceptances or exceptions. All of our staff is working remotely except staggered shifts for processing staff. We have some great virtual things happening (All Virtual Events can be found at Wichita.edu/visit and click on Virtual Visits) – Virtual Campus Visits – we are doing virtual campus visits each weekday either from 9:30 – 10:30 am or 12:30 – 1:30 pm with staff from Admissions, Financial Aid and a virtual student tour guide. Students or Parents can sign up/register at www.wichita.edu/visit and click on Virtual Campus Visit. We’ve had great participation and feedback thus far from students who have signed up! We have hosted Virtual Open Houses that can all be accessed the completed sessions are listed below: College of Engineering Virtual Open House Cohen Honors College Virtual Open House On-Campus Housing Virtual Information Session Live Chat with President Jay Golden Sábado Shocker en Español - Shocker Saturday in Spanish Upcoming Virtual Events Every Tuesday evening – Student Ambassador Society’s Weekly Chat Shocker Career Chats: NASA – Wednesday April 8, 11:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. School of Nursing Info Session – Friday April 17, 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
