only matriculated students exempt from this requirement are those who can show proof of earning a Bachelor’s Degree by submitting an official College transcript to the Registrar’s Office. If you are just taking some courses as a non-matriculated student, you do not have to submit proof of high school graduation. I’m studying at a different college and am just taking a couple of classes as a visiting student. What do I need to do? As a visiting student you should submit the regular online application. If you’re taking 6 or more credits in a given semester or any in-person class, you’ll also need to submit the appropriate immunizations – please see www.sunywcc.edu/immunizations for details. It’s not necessary to provide a high school transcript. Approximately one week after applying, you will receive an acceptance letter and an email with your student ID, which will allow you to create an account on MyWCC. If you’d like to check the status of your application approximately 48 hours after applying, please email MyWCCHelpdesk@sunywcc.edu Please note, applications are processed in the order they are received. If the class you’re registering for has a prerequisite, you’ll also need to show college transcripts (or other relevant proof) demonstrating that you have the prerequisite. You can email a copy of your unofficial college transcript (or other proof of prerequisite) to visitingstudentregistration@sunywcc.edu along with your student ID and the name and section code of the class you’d like to register for. I graduated from high school in another country. What should I submit to show my proof of graduation? The same as high school graduates from the US – please have your high school email a copy of your official high school transcript to HSTranscript@sunywcc.edu. If the language is not in English or Spanish, you’ll need to submit an English language translation as well. If your high school is unable to email your transcript, you can bring in your original high school diploma to the Admissions Office. If the language on the original high school diploma is not English or Spanish, you will need to submit a language translation as well. I am an undocumented student. Can I study at Westchester Community College? Yes, the College is open to everyone, regardless of immigration status. Immigration status might affect the tuition rate you pay, however.
