What is ATP like? Do I have to attend on campus?

No. ATP for transfer students who have earned 24 or more hours from another post-secondary institution is online! ATP Online is an orientation program required for all transfer students planning to register for classes at our Bowling Green campus. ATP Online helps you become more familiar with WKU and gives you an opportunity to meet with an academic advisor from your chosen major, via email, phone, or in person. You will register for classes with your academic advisor's assistance and receive a copy of your class schedule.

How do I change my major before ATP?

To change your major, email your name, WKU ID, and new major choice to admission@wku.edu with "ATP Major Change Request" in the subject line before completing ATP Online.

After I register for ATP, will I receive a confirmation?

You will receive a confirmation email and instant access to your ATP Online via TopNet.

If I am attending an Extended Campus, do I need to attend ATP?

Knox: 270-351-1192; Glasgow: 270-659-6900; Owensboro: 270-745-5095 or 270-684-9797.
