Admission to a distance learning program is not guaranteed. The admission process involves two discrete steps. Students first apply to Western Carolina University and following admission to WCU, their application to the distance learning program and their credentials are forwarded (2nd step) from the Office of Admission to the appropriate academic department.
WCU programs are highly competitive, and often require application and admission to Western Carolina University (the first step) as much as a year in advance of planned attendance. Apply early – seats for Summer and Fall 2009 are filling up fast.
To register for online or off-site programs, you'll need to complete the undergraduate application or graduate application. Instructions are available on the Registrar’s website.
Contact the Division of Educational Outreach for further details on programs, advisers, registration, and more.
