The Welcome Center
Welcome to Westchester Community College!
The College’s Welcome Center provides a dynamic first point of entry to the campus, where prospective and current students and visitors can learn how to access college facilities and programs.
The Welcome Center serves as the College’s information hub for general phone inquiries and also as the MyWCC Student Helpdesk, the first point of contact for students’ questions regarding the online registration portal. In addition, the Welcome Center offers pre-registration sessions for newly admitted students; sessions address the next steps in the enrollment process as well as an overview of opportunities and programs that are available to new students.
Housed in the College’s Gateway Center, the Welcome Center also offers regularly scheduled U.S. Citizenship Exam Preparation classes.
