Credit Classes - Registration
Information
Getting registered for Western classes is a simple
process.
· If you are a part-time (11 or fewer credit hours)
student, simply come in, mail in, or phone in your registration.
Payment is due at the time of registration.
· If you are going to be a degree seeking or full-time
student, make sure you have been accepted for admission to the
college. It requires:
completing the application for admission and submitting official
transcripts from your high school and all colleges you have attended.
Other things to note:
· Full-time, and degree seeking students, must meet with an
academic advisor
· Students who have been out of high school longer than
5 years may submit only a copy of their high school diploma along
with any college transcripts they may have.
· If you are interested in scholarships or have standardized
test scores that might allow you to waive placement test requirements,
please submit ACT or SAT scores.
· Forms may be picked up from and returned to the WWCC
Outreach Office in Kemmerer.
We encourage you to register early so that we can make good
decisions about the need to cancel classes because of low enrollment!
Auditing a Course
Any student may sign up for a credit course with a no credit
option. You may attend the class and choose whether you do assignments,
take tests and complete projects. No grade is issued under this
option. The cost is the same per credit hour rate. Decisions
to take courses for audit must be made within the first two weeks
of the semester.
Placement Tests
Western requires all full-time students and any part-time student
enrolling in English and/or math to take the COMPASS placement
test. This is a national standardized test designed to help students
succeed in College-level coursework. COMPASS scores place you
at the correct level in Western courses. If you have designated
ACT or SAT individual test scores, you may be exempt from the
placement tests. Please contact the office for more information.
The COMPASS placement tests will be given at the WWCC Outreach
Office. Please call the WWCC Outreach Office for dates and times.

General Information
How do I buy my books?
Textbooks are available through the WWCC Bookstore. You can order
books on-line and they will be shipped to you. Book Order website
is www.WWCCBOOKSTORE.COM or call 307-382-1673 Monday Through
Friday between 8am and 5pm.
What are the rules about attending class?
Each instructor sets his or her own attendance policy. Instructors
may drop students from class for excessive absenteeism. It is
in your best interest to attend class regularly. The number one
reason students fail classes is lack of attendance and subsequent
lack of understanding of expectations and deadlines for assignments.
If you must miss a class for some reason, let your instructor
know. If you are going to miss class for an extended period,
call the WWCC Outreach Office.
How do I drop or withdraw from classes?
Students must sign an add/drop form by the established drop deadline
in order to drop or withdraw from a class each semester. The
signed add/drop form must be submitted to the Outreach Office.
The drop deadline for full semester classes is March 31st. Check
with the office for drop dates of classes that are shorter.
What do I do if I have concerns about a class?
You should contact our Outreach Office and after talking with
them, if you still have concerns, contact our Academic Affairs
office, (307) 382-1617 on campus.
How do I get a transcript from Western?
You may pick up a form from the Outreach Office, call (307-382-1637),
fax (307-382-1636), or request online (www.wwcc.cc.wy.us, Enrollment
Services). There is no charge for transcripts.
How do I find out what I still need to graduate from Western?
Contact Dr. Mike Clark in the Outreach Office. He will do an
initial degree check for you and send it to campus. An official
check can then be done. You should apply for graduation the semester
prior to the semester you plan to complete. This gives you time
to make adjustments the last semester if needed.

academic information) on WebAdvisor. Log onto www.wwcc.cc.wy.us
