Once you have received a letter from WKU stating that you have been admitted you will then call or go online to
register for our required new student orientation program called the Academic Transitions Program. All incoming
freshman are also required to take a math placement exam and certain majors are required to take a chemistry
placement exam. You MUST take these exams online BEFORE your ATP date. You may register for the placement
exams through the ATP website, http://www.wku.edu/orientation.

It is important to sign up for an ATP orientation date as soon as possible. The earlier your date the better
selection of classes you will have to chose from.

During ATP you will meet with your advisor and register for classes. The cost for this event is $45 and it
begins at 8:00 a.m. and lasts until 4:00 p.m., so please plan accordingly.  This program will answer all questions you
have about housing, financial aid, meal plans and other campus life questions. Parent sessions are also offered and
lunch is provided at WKU's Fresh Food Company located in the Downing University Center (DUC).

After the completion of this program you are ready to start your first semester. If you are unable to pay the fee please
contact Minority Recruitment Coordinator Kennina Porter directly for more information.
