Spring 2027 Academic Calendar
Session Descriptions
WCC offers multiple course schedule options with different start dates to maximize convenience for you. Each option provides the same amount of course material and meeting hours. Start a traditional 15-week semester, a 12-week semester , or if you prefer to minimize the number of courses you take at the same time, consider taking just 2 courses in each of our 7.5-week sessions. Our 7.5-week sessions are a good choice if you have significant outside commitments, such as a job or childcare responsibilities. Meet with an academic counselor and financial aid advisor to be sure this works for you!
