Applying for Admission

If you are not already a student of WWCC, you must begin by filling out an Application for Admissions to Walla Walla Community College. You may request this form from the Admissions Office by telephone at 509-527-4283 or by calling the DL Office. Once you have the form, simply fill it out and mail to our address below, or Fax it back (509-527-3661) to the Admissions Office. 

Choosing a DL Course 

Review the various modes of delivery and the course descriptions carefully. Most of the courses available today from WWCC are online courses, many use courseware called, Blackboard, to support the virtual classroom.  There are still 5 or 6 courses still being offered in the telecourse format, which is similar to a correspondence course.  Check your quarterly schedule to see which courses are offered and the mode of delivery.

Buying Books 

Most textbooks will be carried in our WWCC bookstore, sometimes there are one or two WAOL courses that will require textbooks that need to be ordered, but all other distance learning texts will be carried in our bookstore. There is a link at the top right of this page that will give you a current quarter listing for all Washington Online required texts.  If you have any questions, call the distance learning department at 509-527-4331.

• Make sure you know the delivery mode for your course, this determines how and what you need to do to get started.
