Computed Tomography (CPCTOM) Admissions

Computed Tomography (CPCTOM)

Applications are only accessible during each program’s designated application window.

Important Note

Computed Tomography will not be offered in Fall 2025 due to the upcoming retirement of the current program instructor.

WCC is in the process of hiring a new faculty member, but until that position is filled, we are unable to provide a definitive timeline for when the program will resume. If the program is offered, the information below outlines the Fall 2026 admission cycle.

Fall 2026 Admissions Requirements

The admission requirements and information outlined below are based on the 2026-2027 academic year. The application is expected to open in mid-April 2026. The deadlines to submit your program application are: 

  • Priority Deadline for WCC Radiography Students: Monday, May 11, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. (end of day)
  • Final Deadline for All Applicants: Early August 2026.

We strongly recommend submitting your application before the final day to avoid any last-minute issues. If problems occur after office hours, staff may not be available to help before the deadline.

All WCC Radiography students and Delta College students recommended for Special Admissions with outstanding admission requirements at the time of application, must complete and verify all admission requirements by Friday, August 14, 2026 to maintain their status.

The next possible admission cycle is for the Fall 2027 semester. If the program runs, the application is expected to open in mid-April 2027, with an anticipated deadline in early August 2027.

This program follows WCC’s Limited Enrollment Admission Process. Applicants must meet all admission requirements. Qualified candidates are admitted on a first-qualified basis until all accepted and alternate seats are filled. 

Exception:

WCC Radiography students expecting to graduate in Spring/Summer 2026 will receive priority consideration if they submit their program application by the priority deadline. These applicants will be considered for a seat based on the date their application is received, even if final admission requirements are still in progress during the Spring/Summer 2026 semester. Students who apply after the priority deadline will forfeit their priority status. 

After the priority deadline, all other applicants will be considered on a first-qualified basis until all seats are filled.  

Delta College students recommended for Special Admissions who are currently enrolled in or have recently graduated from Delta College’s Radiography program within the past five years may be eligible for conditional status while completing their final admission requirements during the Spring/Summer 2026 semester.

Please note:

  • If the number of qualified applicants exceeds the available seats for two or more consecutive admission cycles, WCC reserves the right to implement its Competitive Admission Process for future admissions.

Each year, approximately 12 students are admitted to the program for a Fall semester start. In addition, approximately 6 alternate candidates are selected in case any seats become available before the program begins. This is a full-time program, and part-time enrollment is not available.
