Important tips for avoiding additional fees:
- Check your WKU Topper e-mail account regularly for your student billing statements and other important messages. Be sure to log into TopNet and pay your account on time to avoid late charges.
- Add a Billing e-mail address to your student account. You can have your billing statement sent
directly to the individual who pays your tuition; allowing the payment to be made
in a timely manner to avoid late charges. Setting up a billing e-mail address is simple.
1. Logon to TopNet
2. Select the "Personal Information" tab
3. Click on View/Update E-mail Address(es) link
4. Select "Billing E-mail Address" - Register for your classes on or before the first day of the semester to avoid late registration fees.
- Be certain to make changes to your schedule during the grace period allowed. After the grace period is over you will be charged a $50 Schedule Change Fee for each class dropped or added.
- Don't throw away or lose your WKU Debit Card. WKU issues all refunds directly to the WKU Debit Card via HigherOne. If you misplace this card, you will need to have a new card reissued at an additional cost to you.
