Welcome to the Hill. I am delighted you have selected WKU as your institution of higher learning. Your decision to attend WKU gives my office the opportunity to share some of the standards and expectations set for all students.

It is the expectation of The Office of Judicial Affairs that all student behavior reflect that of a WKU student. As a student you are to be guided by the principles of an active citizen in our community. As a member of this community you are expected to respect the rights of others in the greater spirit of higher education, no matter what your role may be. The Office of Judicial Affairs expects high standards of students both in and out of the classroom, on or off-campus. Please know that any behavior does not demonstrate that of an active citizen may result in your introduction to the University Judicial Process.

The University adopts rules and regulations that are necessary for the orderly, harmonious, and beneficial functioning of the University Community. Accordingly, you as a student must adhere to those codes of conduct. Your responsibility is to recognize that your actions reflect upon yourself as an individual and the entire university community you represent.

I am pleased you have chosen to view our site and am also proud of you for being a student at WKU. Please work hard in the classroom and have fun completing your time on the Hill.

Please take time to review our site as you will find more information about the Student Code of Conduct. The Student Handbook has information for everyone—students, parents, staff, alumni, and professional colleagues.

Should you need anything, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 270-745-5429.

Sincerely,

Michael P. Crowe, Jr.

Director of Judicial Affairs
Western Kentucky University

Our mission is to maintain a campus community conducive to a positive learning environment.
