Better late than never: Enroll in online classes now!

Missed the start of spring semester? That doesn’t mean you can’t start now at Western Nevada College, or maybe current students want to add another class.

WNC has a number of late-start options that begin next month including online classes in biology, auto mechanics, construction, political science, health care, advanced manufacturing and computer information technology/CISCO.

Individuals who haven’t attended WNC before can start by applying for admission at wnc.edu/starthere/. Late-start classes also enable students to resume their studies at WNC or perhaps add another class if it fits into their schedule for work and/or family commitments.
