Readmission Requirements


A Readmit student is a student who previously attended Western Kentucky University and has sat out for three or
more semesters and now wishes to return.


Readmit Students without Transfer Credit


Readmission students must have a minimum GPA of "C" (2.0 on 4.0 unweighted scale) for the last semester or term
of full-time work, and have a cumulative GPA of "C" (2.0 on 4.0 unweighted scale). Fulfillment of minimum
requirements does not guarantee admission.


Readmit Students Who Attended Another School


Readmission students with transfer work from other accredited colleges should request that official transcripts be
mailed to the Office of Admissions from each college attended. An official transcript is typically sent from one
institution to another in a sealed envelope for the receiving institution to open upon arrival . In order to provide more
accurate information and better service to prospective transfer students, a General Education Transfer Report will be
made available (usually within 10 working days) after they are admitted to the University. This is done to help ensure
that all official transcripts are received and evaluated properly and that the transfer student is admitted to the
University. You may also view your General Education Transfer Report along with any updated transfer information on
line at http://topnet.wku.edu.

Readmission students must have a minimum GPA of "C" (2.0 on 4.0 unweighted scale) for the last semester or term
of full-time work, a cumulative GPA of "C" (2.0 on 4.0 unweighted scale) and be in good standing at the institution from
which they are transferring. Fulfillment of minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Applicants are no
allowed to ignore previous college work.

Readmission students with fewer than 24 hours earned are required to have completed the pre-college curriculum.
