    RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT

    Maintaining a sense of campus community is important to us, so if you do not live with your family, you are required to live in college residence halls. Students are offered a variety of housing styles including on-campus, furnished apartments. If you live with your family, you may commute from home. If you have been out of high school for more than three years, you may live off campus. Appeals to these policies can be made through the Vice President of Student Life.

    TRANSFER CREDITS

    After you have applied for admission, arrange to have transcripts from each college you've attended sent to WLC. Once your transcripts are received, our registrar will evaluate your transcripts to determine which credits will transfer, thereby determining your class status. A student must have finished a class with a "C" or better for it to be considered for transfer credit.

    You can request your transcripts be mailed or emailed:
