    CWC is an open-enrollment school – that means all students are accepted once their application has been submitted! Follow these steps to get started on your path to admission. 

    1) Apply for CWC admission

    2) Apply for Financial Aid & Scholarships

    • Apply for CWC Scholarships between October 1 and March 1 each year at www.cwc.edu/scholarships. 
      • Alternative Scholarships are available from March 2nd until Mid-August using the same application. For additional information please contact financial aid at finaid@cwc.edu.
    • Apply for the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. The CWC code is: 005018. FAFSA is required if you want to be eligible for institutional scholarships, federal grants, student loans, and work-study programs.

    3) Transcripts 

    • Request that your high school send your official high school or high school equivalency (GED/HISET) transcript. Contact any colleges that you previously attended, including those in which you received dual/concurrent and/or AP credit while attending high school, and request official transcript(s) be either emailed to records@cwc.edu, faxed to 307-855-2092, or mailed to: Rustler Central – Records, Central Wyoming College, 2660 Peck Ave.,  Riverton, WY 82501.  NOTE: CWC must have all of your official transcripts on file to finalize financial aid.

    4) Placement Scores/Testing

    • Submit ACT or SAT scores or complete our math placement test.  Math placement scores expire after two years. If you have earned college credit in math and/or English, official transcript(s) must be on file for Success Coach review.

    5) Register for Classes and New Student Orientation (NSO)

    • Your Success Coach will schedule an appointment with you in person or via Zoom, phone, or email.

    6) Textbooks

    • You can purchase your textbooks online at cwc.textbookbrokers.com. Students may charge CWC Bookstore purchases to their CWC account (pending available financial aid/scholarships) two weeks before class begins provided CWC has received all required financial aid documentation.
