    • An advisor will register you for the courses needed to receive your bachelor’s degree from Kentucky Wesleyan College. The cost of tuition or regular fees is the same for all Kentucky Wesleyan Online Degree students, with your textbooks being an additional cost. Full-time online students take two 3-credit-hour courses every 7-week term.
  • Sign the Financial Responsibility Form.
    • Payment for each course is due the first day of the course. If a student owes a balance, a 1% financial charge is added at the end of the month. At this time, we do not ask for any “ability to pay” documentation. You are expected to have a $0 balance before starting courses for your next term.
  • IT Department will send log-in credentials and directions to access online learning resources to the email address on file.
