Enrollment Steps

Submit our free New Student Information Form (NSIF), which is our version of an application. It doesn’t mean you have to attend Waubonsee, but it gets the process started by assigning you a student ID/X-number. It also allows us to better communicate with you throughout the enrollment process.

If interested, apply for financial aid as soon as possible. Waubonsee also offers a variety of scholarships that don’t need to be paid back, but they do need to be applied for by the February deadline.

You’ll be placed into the right English and math courses based on your ACT/SAT scores, placement testing results or previous coursework.

P.S. to Part-timers: You’ll need to go through the course placement process only if you plan on taking an English or math course. The reading/writing test is required for all financial aid applicants. 

Complete the online Electronic Registration and Planning (E-RAP) tutorial, found in mywcc, where you’ll learn to use your course placement info, the course catalog and course schedule to select and register for classes.

Note: E-RAP is very helpful, but so is our Admissions team. Don’t be afraid to get some in-person expertise as you build your course schedule. 

P.S. to Part-Timers: E-RAP is optional for you, but we recommend it, as it’s a great introduction to our academic offerings and processes. But if you're ready to register, follow these online registration tips.   

Don’t forget to make a payment when you register for courses. If your tuition and fees total more than $200, you can opt for our payment plan option.

Come meet new classmates as you learn about Waubonsee's campuses, resources and technology. You can also get help finalizing your course schedule. Note: NSO is available for fall and spring starts only.
