Student Services Information
Wor-Wic has an open door admission policy. Standard entrance examinations
are not required, but free diagnostic assessments are administered to assist in
the appropriate selection of courses.
Admission is open to anyone 16 years old or older who has graduated from
or left elementary or secondary school and has the ability to benefit from instruction.
Current high school students who are at least 16 years old must
provide signed authorization from the high school principal or his or her designee
indicating that they have permission to attend. Students under the age
of 16 who are identified as having the ability to benefit by Wor-Wic’s dean of
student development can be admitted if they have completed at least the seventh
grade and have Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) reading and mathematics
subset scores of at least 600 or American College Testing (ACT) subset scores
of at least 24.
Wor-Wic accepts foreign nationals who can provide sufficient evidence to
prove their domicile and document their legal status to be in the U.S. during
the period of their enrollment. However, as an institution that serves the local
community, Wor-Wic does not function as an international student training
center, and is not authorized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
to issue I-20 forms.
Limited Admission Programs
Emergency medical services, nursing and radiologic technology are limited
admission programs. Anyone interested in these programs should obtain an
