Parent & Family Programs
Welcome Hilltopper Parents and Families!
At Western Kentucky University, we know the higher education choice was a family decision. We also know that decision has impacted your family's priorities, finances, and structure.
Your family's decision to become a part of our Hilltopper Family is a source of pride and commitment for us. Our goal is to educate, engage, and guide parents and family members of WKU students with the goal of supporting successful student transition, retention, and persistence to graduation. We hope this site serves as an information hub for you, the families of WKU students.
