In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have lifted financial holds from student accounts to allow students to register for the Fall 2020 semester. We understand that many students will need extensions to manage their finances. However, we do not want that challenge to hinder their ability to register.

Please view the fall registration schedule and contact your advisor as soon as possible to begin the registration process. More information about advising is available at www.wku.edu/advising.

In light of the pandemic, for the spring 2020 semester, WKU will add a Pass/D/Fail option (PDF) for undergraduate and graduate students. Many universities have adjusted their grading policies because Covid19 has so dramatically disrupted the lives of students and faculty; economically challenged students face severe technology access issues; many faculty are shifting to an online modality for the first time in their careers; and significant uncertainty remains about the effects of the virus on the world, nation, higher education, students, staff, and faculty. We have reviewed our own policies, federal regulations, and principles of accreditation; and consulted accrediting bodies, deans, department heads, Faculty Senate Executive Committee, registrars, financial aid personnel, information systems programmers, and a variety of other constituencies to develop this plan. The approach allows us to maintain academic standards and meet accrediting requirements while also providing flexibility for students as they weather this difficult time.
