The Topper Orientation Program allows students and families to connect with the WKU campus and community. Students and their guests will learn about class registration and graduation requirements, meet other students, attend an advising session, and register for classes. This program will last all day. We ask that you plan to be on-campus until 4:30 p.m. the day of your TOP. Pre-registration is required. We are excited you are officially joining the Hilltopper family!
