When Should I Apply?
You should submit your online application for admission by the following deadlines so that you can get the best selection of classes through early registration.
- New applicants and former students are strongly encouraged to submit their application for admission several weeks before their class session begins, to allow time to complete the admission requirements. For the best choice of classes, apply several weeks before registration begins.
- Former Students: If you want to take Spring/Summer 2013 classes, you must apply to be readmitted if you have not taken classes since Winter 2011 semester; if you want to register for Fall 2013 classes, you must apply to be readmitted if you haven't taken classes since Spring/Summer 2011 semester.
- International (F-1 Visa) Students: July 15 for Fall semester, and all admission requirements must be met (required deadline). For Winter semester, all required admission deadlines must be met by November 15. Note that the College only admits new F-1 Visa students for Fall and Winter semesters. Guest F1 students who are attending another U.S. institution but coming to WCC for a few classes are welcome to apply for Spring/Summer semester.
Additional Admission Requirements
Certain categories of applicants must complete requirements in addition to submitting an online application for admission.
