National Student Exchange
READY TO APPLY?
After meeting with the WKU NSE Coordinator, carefully complete the entire application.
Start Your Application on the WKU Study Abroad & Global Learning Website
You must identify the exchange term and duration you desire. If there is a possibility that you will stay for the full academic year, you should indicate that. It is very difficult to extend an exchange into another semester if it was not requested at the time of placement.
You may select multiple exchange schools in preferred order. DO NOT list any campus that you would not attend if placed there. While we will try to place you at your first choice campus, we cannot guarantee it and you may be placed at a second or third choice.
Application Fee - $200
The non-refundable application fee is required to complete your placement.
The application fee is charged to your TopNet account after you apply. The fee must be paid before your exchange begins.
Refund Policy: No application refunds are given regardless of whether you are placed, accept a placement,
or are satisfied with your placement.
