Parents & Families
You know your student better than we do. Allow us to partner with you while serving as a centralized advocacy and student success center to help your student during their time on the Hill. Below is beneficial information grounded in frequently asked questions. Feel free to contact the office for assistance. We are here to help!
Does your student live in campus housing?
If so, please contact WKU's Parent & Family Engagement Coordinator.

Academics
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act transfers certain privacy rights from parent to student once the student reaches 18 years of age or is enrolled in a post-secondary institution, regardless of age. This means parents no longer enjoy the same right of access they had when their student attended primary or secondary schools.
Withdrawal Procedures
Due to extenuating circumstances only.
The Tuition/Schedule Change Fee Appeal Committee will review your change in enrollment status to determine if a refund is appropriate. You should obtain the form and directions for submitting an appeal to the Committee from the Billings and Receivables Office (Potter Hall, 2nd floor). Be sure to include all documented information with your appeal.
Contact the Office of the Dean of Students or the Office of Student Billing & Account Services for more information.
