FIVE STEPS OF THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS

You are more likely to succeed in college if you have good information about planning and registering for classes that fit your academic goals. Follow these five easy steps to ensure that you are getting the best information to assist you in meeting your goals.

STEP ONE: Apply to Nevada State College

1) Apply to NSC as a transfer applicant and include official transcripts from WNC. For admissions application, please click here.

2) Review the articulation agreement between NSC and WNC. An articulation agreement is an officially approved agreement that matches coursework between a 4-year college and a community college. They are designed to help students make a smooth transition when transferring from a Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) community college to NSC. The articulation agreement is often referred to as a "major-to-major" or a "two-plus-two" agreement. For information on the WNC articulation agreement, please click here.

3) For information on financial aid, please click here.

4) Set up online Student Account and WebCampus access. For instructions, please click here.

STEP TWO: Apply to the Teacher Preparation Program 

All students seeking a degree or certification will need to apply for admission to the Teacher Preparation Program before registering for initial 300 and 400 level education courses. It is strongly recommended you submit your application at least one semester before you plan to begin your upper division course work. Failure to do so may result in your inability to register for courses.
Applications for admission to the program are accepted twice each year. All application materials must be received no later than the application deadline. To print the TPP application, please click .
