Whether called the summer setback or summer slide, the learning loss students experience over the summer can have significant impact on their performance in the upcoming school year. The Summer Bridge Program in Mathematics will help minimize students’ loss of skills by giving them an instructor-led environment in which to review and practice skills learned or receive guided instruction on key topics covered in the grade they’re entering.

  • July 15-18 for 6th Grade
  • July 22-25 for 7th Grade
  • July 29-August 1 for 8th Grade

*Limited Availability

The Top Drop & Go move-in option allows students to drop off their belongings in their residence hall room early and return home until it is time to return to campus for the fall, avoiding the larger move-in rush. 

Eligibility 

  • We highly encourage students who have conflicts with the scheduled move-in dates to utilize this option, though ALL STUDENTS are eligible for TOP DROP (except in Minton Hall)

  • Students MUST have received their WKU ID card prior to arriving on campus to utilize the Top Drop & Go option. The ID card will be programmed to allow door access at the residence hall front door for the allotted two-hour timeslot

  • Top Drop and Go is NOT available at Minton Hall, as it is serving as a 20234 summer hall. Students with a fall 2024 room assignment in Minton Hall may apply for summer housing if they need to move in early. Summer housing charges are pro-rated by the night. Learn More
