The folders within each subseries have been placed in alphabetical order by subject.
Acquisition Information :
The records of the Admissions Office were transferred to the University Archives, Washington State University Libraries, by the Admissions Office in accordance with the approve records schedule in August 1982 (UA 82-21).
Processing Note :
The records were processed by Barbara Kovarik Gahl in June 1983.
