Step #0: (OPTIONAL) Apply for Financial Aid |
If you are planning to utilize Financial Aid to pay for your classes, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible. Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov. If your Financial Aid file is not complete by the time of registration, you must pay out-of-pocket for your classes.
|
Step #1: Submit your admission application |
You can apply online at http://wright.ccc.edu or bring your application to Room A120.
|
Step #2: Attend the New Student Orientation. |
The New Student Orientation is mandatory for full-time students (12 credit hours or more in the fall and spring terms; 6 credit hours or more in the summer) and highly recommended for part-time students. To reserve a seat, call (773) 481-8200, stop by Room A120, or send an e-mail to wn_e-advising@ccc.edu.

Step #4: Submit a final official transcript |
Submit a final official transcript from high school (or a GED Certificate) and transcripts from any previous colleges attended to the Student Academic Success Center, Room A120.
Your GED or high school transcript is a requirement for financial aid. Students who are unable to meet this requirement may still qualify for financial aid by taking the Ability to Benefit Test.
If you are a transfer student seeking a degree at Wright College, submit an official transcript(s) from all colleges or universities previously attended and request an official evaluation to receive credit for the applicable courses that you have completed. Unofficial transcripts or grade reports may only be used for advising and registration purposes.
|
Step #5: Meet with a college advisor to be advised and to register for classes |
College advisors are available on a walk-in basis or by appointment. For an appointment, call (773) 481-8200.
All students are required to provide proof of address in the City of Chicago each time they register in order to receive in-district tuition rates. Documents accepted for proof of address are:
- Driver’s license
- State ID
- Voter Registration Card
- Consulate ID with Chicago address
- Copy of Lease
- Utility or Telephone Bill
- Student Aid Report (SAR)
Students who are still dependents of their parents may present the following:
- State of Illinois Identification Card
- Utility or Telephone Bill
Copy of Lease in Parents’ Name at Student’s Address
Note: You will be required to provide a proof of address every time you register in person.
|
Step #6: Pay for your classes |
Payment is required at the time of registration. If payment is not received at the time of registration, your enrollment will be deleted, and you will have to begin the advising and registration process again. The Partial Payment Option is available during the Early Registration period for the fall and spring semesters. Students using the Partial Payment option will be assessed a small administrative fee.
|
Step #7: Purchasing Textbooks and U-Pass |
Purchase textbooks at the Wright College Bookstore, Room S103, or online at www.efollett.com.
Note: Full-time students are eligible for the CTA U-Pass. |
