WKU College Readiness

College readiness and course placement are crucial for the success of future Hilltoppers. This process helps students receive appropriate academic support, complete major requirements, and graduate in a timely manner. WKU places students into select reading, writing, and math courses based on unweighted high school GPA and test scores.

Send Official Test Scores to WKU

Each testing company uses a different process to send official scores to colleges and universities. Use the buttons to learn more. Please note that some testing companies charge a small fee to send official scores.

All admitted students who have an unweighted high school GPA below 3.50 should send their official test scores to WKU prior to their Topper Orientation Program (TOP) to ensure correct course placement.
