Competitive Admission Process

The competitive admission process is utilized by programs that have been designated as high demand (one for which there are more qualified applicants than openings for an entering class).  Program applicants are required to meet all admission requirements/criteria and are ranked based on a point system. The best qualified applicants are selected for admission. Details regarding WCC’s Admission to High Demand Programs policy can be found on WCC’s website. Application packets for these programs can be downloaded below when available.

Point Scales

Limited Enrollment Admission Process

The limited enrollment admission process is utilized by programs that have a limited number of seats available. Program applicants are required to meet all admission requirements/criteria and are admitted to the program on a first-qualified, first-admitted basis until all seats are filled with an exception to WCC’s post-associate certificate programs*. Application packets for these programs can be downloaded below when available.

*Priority admission and continued enrollment is given to eligible WCC students currently enrolled in the final year of their prerequisite associate degree program when applying to one of WCC’s post-associate certificate programs by the deadline stated in the application packet. WCC students who submit their application after the deadline, will forfeit their priority status. After the WCC priority deadline, WCC will continue to admit applicants to the program on a first-qualified, first-admitted basis until all seats are filled.
