How to Login to your Student Accounts (WINGS, WINGS Express, Pilot, and Email)

To register for your classes, check your email, or log into Pilot, you will need to have your "w" username and password. This information can be accessed on your admissions portal.

Immigration Check-in Process 

Your immigration check-in process will be conducted electronically.

Do not complete the check-in process until AFTER your arrival in the United States, as it requires information from our most recent I94 entrance information.

After the review, your check-in hold will be removed, and you will be notified via email that you can register for classes.

Taxi Transportation from Dayton Airport

UCIE is offering FREE taxi rides to new students from the Dayton International Airport! 
Pick up your luggage from the luggage claim and exit the terminal. Look for the Taxi valet booth directly in front of the terminal. Inform taxi attendant that you are a NEW student at Wright State University by giving copy of your admission letter, and that you need to take a taxi to Wright State. 

You must show the following documents to the attendant to ensure they do not charge you: 
•    Photo ID (passport) & I-20 (do NOT give your I-20 to the driver) 
•    A copy of your admission letter (physical copy or electronic copy located on your admissions portal) stating that you are admitted for the current semester. 
•    In case of an emergency, please call our WhatsApp number at 937-231-4230.

*DO NOT LEAVE THESE DOCUMENTS WITH THE TAXI ATTENDANT*

Housing Options

Most of our international students live in Forest Lane, University Park and College Park apartments. All these options and more can be found on the housing website.

Sign up for Fall and Spring & get July free! 

Sign up for the full academic year (2 semesters) & indicate the preferred floorplan, choose between either a four-person quad or a 6 person double occupancy quad in University Park. With this option, residents can move in any time after July 22 at no additional cost. Visit the housing website for application information. Note: all applications require a $100 prepayment for the fall semester.

• 4 person quad apartment | $2187 housing + $60 residential fee + $200 telecom = $2447 per semester
• 6 person quad double occupancy room | $1275 housing + $60 residential fee + $200 telecom = $1535 per semester 
• 6 person quad single occupancy room | $1750 housing + $60 residential fee + $200 telecom = $2010 per semester

30-Day Committment 

Opt for a 30-day guest housing stay in a four-person quad. Arrive any time in July, the arrival date starts the 30-day clock. Typically, guest housing residents are required to pay a $250 deposit, this requirement will be waived. Residents pay a flat rate of $650 rent, due before arrival. The online application will be available starting July 1.

Option to stay for the semester, after a 30-day initial commitment.

If a temporary resident decides they want to stay beyond their 30-day guest housing commitment, then they'd submit a standard housing application and would then be billed the pro-rated remainder of the semester through their WINGS account. This amount will vary depending on the arrival date; essentially, residents would be billed the daily rate for the days in July or August that they arrived prior to the semester officially starting. Note: this option may require the resident to move into a different apartment if not all roommates elect to stay.

For a list of some off-campus housing options see below:

• Apartments within walking distance to campus
