Frequently Asked Questions

Applying for Admission

Q. How do I apply for admission to WWCC?
A. Complete WWCC’s application for admission. Print or type the form and make sure you respond to all questions. You may also apply online.  WWCC has no application fee.

Q. What transcripts are required?
A. Submit an official copy of your high school transcript or GED scores. Submit official copies of transcripts from all colleges previously attended. If you have not graduated from high school or received a GED, you may be admitted conditionally but must complete your high school equivalency by the midpoint of your program.  Students who completed high school more than five years ago are only required to provide proof of graduation (submit a copy of the high school diploma or GED).

Q. Are ACT or SAT scores required?
A. No, but these scores are helpful for advising purposes.

Q. Is there an application deadline?
A. No, but we suggest that you apply for admission as soon as possible. Financial aid awards and housing assignments will not be made until after you are accepted for admission.

Applying For Financial Aid

Q. How do I apply for financial aid?
 A. Complete WWCC’s financial aid application. For need-based aid (PELL grants, students loans) and many institutional grants, you must also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Student Aid Report (SAR) is then sent directly to the student by the government. The student is responsible for submission of the SAR to the Financial Aid Office. Failure to do so on a timely basis can critically affect your ability to receive campus-based aid. Other supporting documents, including tax returns, may be required.  You must complete the admissions process and submit official high school and college transcripts before any financial aid can be awarded. For more information, you may visit the WWCC Financial Aid Page.

Q. When is the priority deadline for financial aid?
A. The priority funding date for each fall semester is April 1. Applications received after that date will be considered on a funds-available basis. Students must reapply for financial aid each academic year.

Q. How do I apply for foundation grants?
A. Complete the institutional scholarship application and submit it with a personal essay that lists your career goals and educational plans and two letters of recommendation. The priority deadline is April 1 for each fall.

Q. Are payment plans available?
A. The semester payment plan involves three equal payments at the first of each month and includes a $50 processing fee. Contact Jeri Conklin in Registration & Records at 307/382-1659 or jkunz@wwcc.wy.edu for more information.

Q. How do I get a job on campus? Is there help finding off campus jobs?
A. For on campus jobs, contact Crystal Deibner in WWCC’s personnel office at (307)382-1610 . Off campus job leads may be found through WWCC’s Career & Placement Center. Contact Mark Rembacz.

Applying for Housing

Q. Are WWCC students required to live on campus?
A. No, but we encourage you to do so. The residence halls at WWCC are a living-learning center with experiences that complement the education in the classroom.

Q. When do I apply for housing?
A. As soon as possible! WWCC’s housing tends to fill early. Complete the housing application form and submit your housing deposit ($150 or $150 made payable to WWCC) after you complete the admissions process. The $150 deposit is required for students wishing to rent single units. All others pay $150 also. Room assignments are made based upon the date the deposit is received. No one is assigned to housing until after they have been accepted for admission.
