Hilltopper Hall Summer Rate

$30/day $210/week $2850/entire summer |
Private |
$37.50/day $262.50/week $3562.50/entire summer |
*Private rooms are limited and are assigned on a first come, first serve basis.
Summer housing fees will be charged at the time of check-in for the entire length of the summer, including the week at their fall assignment (if applicable). If a student stays for only a portion of the summer, the rate will be pro-rated by days stayed in the summer hall and adjusted for date of checkout.
Fees will be added to a student's university bill, and will be due according to the university's tuition and fees schedule. Learn more at https://www.wku.edu/bursar/coa.php
A hold will be placed on the student's University account for failure to pay, which will prevent them from being able to register, drop/add classes, or receive transcripts until the fee is paid in full.
How to Make a Payment
