Online Classes

Online classes are semester based courses taught via the Internet. The campus location for these courses is listed as "web." In order to be listed as a web course in the schedule of classes, there must be no more than two meetings required in a given semester. Most often, online courses do not require any face-to-face meetings. However, if this is a concern for you please contact the Office of Distance Learning prior to registration at learn.online@wku.edu or 888-4WKUWEB.
