Admissions
Credit Classes

You can use any of the following options for admission to Wenatchee Valley College.  You are not required to submit an application for admissions if you are taking six or fewer credits at WVC, though you won't receive a registration appointment or be able to register online if we don't have a current application on file.

Students returning to WVC after an absence of a quarter or more (excluding Summer) are required to submit a new application for admissions in order to be able to register for classes.

Student Identification numbers (SID) and Personal Identification Numbers (PIN)

Each student who attends WVC will be assigned a Student Identification number, or SID.  Your SID is your unique identifier while attending WVC.  You will also be assigned a global Personal Identification Number, or PIN.  The initial setting for your six-digit global PIN will be your birthdate. The SID and global PIN can be used together to access your records through the WVC web site, so we strongly advise that you keep them private.  You have the option of changing your global PIN through the WVC Student Kiosk page.  Please be aware that your global PIN will not allow you to register for classes.

As part of registering for classes, you are required to meet with either an Educational Planner or a faculty advisor.  Once this is completed, they will give you a quarterly PIN, which can only be used for registering for classes through the WVC web site.  The quarterly PIN will be different for each quarter you attend WVC.

Please note that due to privacy regulations WVC staff are not allowed to give out SID or PIN information over the phone or e-mail.  If you forget your number(s), you will need to come into the Admissions office and present picture ID.

Option 1 - Apply Online

From the Web Admissions Center site, you will be asked to set up an account with your own user ID and password. You can then fill out the application. The online application consists of six sections. All required questions are marked with an asterisk (*). You can save the application at any time and return later to complete it, so long as you remember your user ID and password. Once you have completed the application, you will be able to send it to us immediately.

Option 2 - Apply By Mail

You may also print a WVC Application and apply via U.S. mail or fax.

Option 3 - Apply In Person

You can complete the application in person at the admissions office, located inside the main entrance to Wells Hall on the Wenatchee campus and in the Administration Building on the Omak campus.  A student development staff member will be available to answer your questions about enrolling at WVC.

 Application Review

The WVC Admissions Office will review your application after it’s received.  You will then be sent a letter with your new Student Identification number (SID). Remember, your SID and global Personal Identification (PIN) numbers are required to access any online service at WVC, except for registration.  You will receive a quarterly PIN after your initial adviser meeting at WVC, which you need if you register online.

While we do strive to process all applications in a timely manner, the response time for your application can vary depending on the volume we are currently dealing with.  If you are concerned about the status of your application, please feel free to contact the Admissions office.

Please be careful with your SID and PIN numbers.  They could be used to access your personal information.   For security reasons, WVC strongly recommends you change your global PIN on a regular basis.
