Non-Traditional Students

Come see us!

A non-traditional student is anyone who decides to return to college and/or who has characteristics that set them apart from the student who enters directly from high school.  WWCC's student body has a large percentage of non-traditional students, in fact, the average age of all WWCC students is 27.  

You could be...

A single parent
Returning to school after 10 to 15 years
Maybe you finished high school in a nontraditional way (GED or home school)
Someone who has been working for years and now needs to find a new career

We offer a variety of courses tailored to working adults including Internet courses that you can do at home, night courses and degrees, and courses structured for shift workers.

There are a variety of services available to non-traditional students including:

Children's center for children ages 2-5
Career counseling to decide on the right career for you
Peer Tutor Center which offers free tutoring on many subjects
Student success seminar course geared to help refresh study skills and teach useful college survival techniques
