First Time Student

As a high school student, we know you have special interests and concerns about your future: whether you’re anxious to get started in the workplace, or you’re totally undecided about what path you want to take, or you want to transfer to a four-year university, or you just want to gain the knowledge and skills to give you choices.

This portion of the Central site is just for you . . . with information to help you understand all of the possibilities and to make the best decisions about your future. We hope you find this information useful as you explore all of the options and services at CWC.

If you are graduating from high school (not a Dual Credit student), a high school graduate or have completed the General Education Exam (GED), you should apply for admission as a first-time freshman.

If you have questions, be sure to talk to an Admissions representative. Click on the Admissions Representative link to the left to find out who we are and when we’ll be in your town.
