Many students will not have decided upon a major before coming to college. For those students, an appointment will be scheduled with a counselor in the Student Development Center. The counselor will help you schedule your courses and do some early career planning.
Students who are certain of the program or major they would like to pursue will be assigned an adviser in that department. Advisers work with students to help them plan their class schedules.
How Do I Apply for Admission?
It’s easy! You may apply on-line through our website (www.wwcc.edu) or pick up an Admissions application at the Admissions Office. Fill out this application and return it to the Admissions Office.
Have your high school, college or GED transcripts sent to the Admissions Office. Cards are available in the Admissions Office that you can use to request transcripts.
Other U.S. residents pay $1350-$1500 per quarter for tuition, fees and books.
Senior citizens pay a reduced tuition rate of $25.00 per credit (with some restrictions).
It is important to know that tuition and fees must be paid approximately 10 days before the quarter begins. Textbooks are also required on the first day of class. Often it is difficult for students to have the money to pay for all of these items at once. If you think you might need financial help, read on . . .
What If I Don’t Have Enough Money?
If you need to improve your skills or have not finished high school, you may be able to attend classes at a reduced rate.
If you have been dislocated from your previous job, you may be eligible for some assistance from the Worker Retraining program. Please call 527.4619 for further information
If you are currently employed or are receiving TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) and seeking employment, but need some additional training to upgrade employable skills, you may be eligible for assistance from WorkFirst. Please call 527.4230 for more information.
Grants, work study, scholarships, loans, and child care assistance are also available. Although it usually takes about six weeks to process the financial aid paperwork, short-term loans are available on a much faster basis and can help cover a portion of college costs. Call or come to the Financial Aid Office for more specific information (527.4301).
