New student registration opens at Western Nevada College

New student registration for the spring semester at Western Nevada College opened on Monday.

Headquartered in Carson City, the college has campuses in Minden and Fallon.

The college is celebrating 50 years since its founding in 1951.

Students new to Western can apply for admission and learn about other pre-registration requirements at wnc.edu/starthere.

Returning and continuing students began registering for spring semester classes a week earlier.

To preview classes that are available for spring semester, go to wnc.edu/class-schedule. WNC is offering more online options than ever before, including open enrollment courses that allow students to start the semester as much as 9 weeks late and work at their own pace to complete a course.

Spring semester starts on Jan. 24.

Following the Nevada State Board of Health’s COVID-19 Vaccine mandate for Nevada System of Higher Education students, WNC requires vaccines for all in-person classes beginning with spring semester. Fully online courses do not require proof of vaccination. For more information, visit wnc.edu/class-schedule.

Scholarships are available through WNC Foundation. Apply for 2022-23 Foundation Scholarships and 2021-22 William N. Pennington CTE Scholarships at wnc.edu/scholarship.

Individuals can receive personal assistance from Student Services in preparation for spring semester by setting up an appointment with Counseling Services at 775-445-3267 or counseling@wnc.edu.
