Step Four: Schedule an advising appointment

Academic advising is a critical piece of the Joint Admissions program.

After receiving your WKU acceptance letter, make plans to talk with an academic advisor. For your convenience, academic advisors are located at all four WKU campuses. You can obtain advisement from the WKU location most convenient for you during regular business hours. Please inform the academic advisor of your Joint Admissions status and which community college you attend.
