CURRICULUM REGISTRATION: 2024 SPRING SEMESTER Wilson Community College is a comprehensive community college and a proud member of the North Carolina Community College System. The College has an open-door policy, which means that students are assisted in selecting programs that serve their needs and objectives in life, consistent with their background, skills, and expressed interests. Some programs have additional admissions requirements.

Wilson Community College reserves the right to refuse enrollment in distance learning courses to any applicant who is not a North Carolina resident, if that applicant resides in a state where the College is not authorized to provide distance learning courses.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Wilson Community College is gearing up for registration again, and we have options for anyone who wants to improve their skills, earn a degree, or learn to do something new. Maybe there hasn’t been an opportunity to attend college, and now you’re ready to take that first step. You don’t have to wait. Or maybe you’re already attending another college, but want to take classes online at WCC to get ahead. You may work full-time, but want to go back to school and retrain for a career change.

Regardless of your motivations, it’s never too late — or too early — to begin a new journey at Wilson Community College. So, if you’ve been wondering what WCC has to offer, why not start now?
