Secondary Admissions and Application Processes for WCC Health Programs
Many WCC health programs require a separate, additional application process. Admission to WCC does not guarantee acceptance into high-demand programs. You may also need to fulfill additional admissions requirements or criteria to be eligible to apply.

*The Computed Tomography program will not run in the Fall 2025 semester due to the upcoming retirement of our current program instructor. WCC is in the process of hiring a new faculty member, and until that position is filled, we are unable to provide a definitive timeline for when the program will be offered again. If the program is offered in the Fall 2026 semester, the expected dates are listed above.
*Mandatory program orientation is for accepted and alternate students only.
