Admissions Policy
Open Admission
Central Wyoming College has a policy of open admission and therefore admits all United States citizens and permanent residents, age 16 years and older as regular degree- seeking matriculated students, who have the desire to pursue post-secondary education, to acquire specific skills and have the ability to benefit.
Non-degree seeking, non-regular students, who have the desire to acquire specific skills and have the ability to benefit, may be admitted if age 15 or older. Current high school students, under the age of 16, may be concurrently enrolled through a Board of Cooperative Higher Educational Services (BOCHES) articulation agreement or a postsecondary education program offered by Central Wyoming College in accordance with a signed articulation agreement.
