M.A.S.T.E.R. Plan is WKU's transition program for all new undergraduate students and is designed to help them smoothly transition to their new life as a Hilltopper. 

Students will: 

• Move in early (if living on campus)
• Get acclimated to campus
• Receive resources to help them succeed on the Hill
• Participate in a wide variety of social events 
• Meet their new Hilltopper best friends.

All residence halls open at 8 AM for all new and returning students not participating in M.A.S.T.E.R. Plan or other early arrival programs.

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 4:30pm the day of your TOP. Pre-registration is required. We are excited you are officially joining the Hilltopper family!

The beginning of the fall semester always provides us with a time of renewal, excitement and celebration. WKU Community, to celebrate our collective efforts and launch the new academic year, let's get together on South Lawn for our third annual Topper Fest! New this year, WKU Athletics’ Fan Fest is set to merge with Topper Fest, bringing its traditional breadth of activities to South Lawn on the same night, including children’s activities, student-athlete autograph sessions and giveaways.
