Open Admission

Central Wyoming College has a policy of open admission and therefore admits persons age 16 years and older as degree-seeking matriculated students who have the desire to pursue post-secondary education, to acquire specific skills, and have the ability to benefit. Non-degree seeking students who have the desire to acquire specific skills and have the ability to benefit, may be admitted if age 15 or older. Current high school students, under the age of 16, may be concurrently enrolled through a Board of Cooperative Higher Educational Services (BOCHES) articulation agreement.

The College may deny or condition admission, readmission, or continuing enrollment of any individual who, in the judgement of the College, presents an unreasonable risk to the safety and welfare of the College and persons thereon. In making such judgment, the College may, among other things, take into account the individual’s history and experience relative to (1) violence and destructive conduct, (2) such behavior at other educational institutions, and (3) any measures the individual may have successfully implemented to eliminate such conduct or behavior. A decision to utilize the authority conferred by this paragraph shall be communicated to the individual in writing. The College maintains procedures by which such decisions are made and appealed, and a means through which reasonable accommodations for disabilities may be requested.
