Student & Academic Records

The WSU Registrar Office keeps a wide variety of records for each student and alumni. These records include grades, declared majors and transcripts and as well as personal information like contact information.


Understand Data Privacy

As a student, you have certain rights to data privacy guaranteed by law. Learn more about how your student data is maintained and protected at WSU.


Grades, Transcripts, & Diploma

Each semester, final grades are posted through Student eServices.

As you pursue your degree program, you build up a transcript of courses you’ve taken and grades received. Students and alumni can request a transcript at any time.

Need to Transfer Credits?

WSU accepts many types of credits including credits from accredited colleges or universities, credits earned by exams, and military credits.

You can use Transferology to see how credits might be applied toward your major or general graduation requirements.

If you disagree with how your credits were transferred, you can submit the Degree Audit & Transfer Credit Request Form.

If you already have a major or minor, you will have to select a status for each one:
