Admissions to Wilbur Wright College

The first module of the Student Online Application and Registration System (http://my.ccc.edu) Web project is in production after successful completion of functionality and stress testing. The "View Courses" module of this system is now successfully interacting with SPAS, and it can be used to view the current class schedules of all City Colleges of Chicago via the web in real time.

3. If you have attended any other colleges, contact each one and have an official transcript of your work sent to the Office of Admissions at Wright College.

4. Residents outside of Chicago who plan to enroll in a program at the City Colleges of Chicago not available at a community college in their district should apply for tuition assistance at their local community college board.

5. Each student must have a Social Security card to register for class. Students who do not have a Social Security card should obtain one prior to registration.

4. Special students 18 years and older who have not completed high school.

A high school transcript or GED certificate is required before enrollment of all new students seeking a degree or certificate.

Admission to the College does not ensure acceptance into a particular program or course. Entry into transfer degree programs, including the Associate in Fine Arts, requires students to be eligible for English 101 and place in Math 118 or higher.

Public Act 86-0954 requires 15 units of high school course work for admission to Illinois colleges and universities beginning in the Fall of 1993. In the event the student has not completed the 15 required units specified below, a program of pre-collegiate courses will be assigned.

Students without documentation of the following requirements must remedy their deficiencies through assessment or successful course completion as follows:

• Current students are not required to apply for re-admission if in good standing.

• Former students who have not attended another college and who left in good standing are not required to apply for re-admission.

• Former and current students who have been dropped or excluded must petition for re-admission. All other prospective students must follow this procedure:

• Former and current students who have been dropped or excluded must petition for re-admission. All other prospective students must follow this procedure.

• Beginning students (never before enrolled in any college or university) must file :

  1. Application for admission.

  2. High school transcript (required).

  3. ACT scores--if enrolled for six or more semester credit hours--or other placement tests.

  4. Social Security number.

Transfer students must file :

1. Application for admission.

2. Transcripts from last accredited school attended.

3. Social Security number.

4. Petition for admission if dismissed from last school attended.

Applications and petitions for admission may be obtained from the Admissions Office at the college.

ACT scores are used for research and placement purposes only and do not affect eligibility for, or priority in, admission.

All students are required to take a placement test.

Students with disabilities anticipating enrollment at Wright College should contact the Special Needs Office for information and services available to them. It is important that they call the office prior to placement testing if they need special testing accommodations.

Concurrent Enrollment with Other Colleges and Universities

Students planning to register at Wright College and simultaneously in any other institutions of higher learning (including another Chicago City College) must receive written permission from both schools prior to actual enrollment. Failure to do so will jeopardize acceptance of concurrent credits by either or both institutions. Applications for concurrent registrations may be obtained at the Registrar's Office at Wright College.

Health Requirements

Students must comply with the requirements of the Department of Health of the City of Chicago as a pre-condition to their admission or continuance as students of the City Colleges of Chicago and must submit to a health examination when directed to do so by the college president. This is in compliance with Board Rule 3-4.

Non-resident Students

Students who are not legal residents of the City of Chicago may be admitted only as non-resident students. The following statements govern the admission of such students:

1. Students residing outside the City of Chicago will be required to pay nonresident tuition plus tuition and fees paid by Chicago residents.

2. Students who have not attained their majority and whose parents or legal guardians reside outside the City of Chicago will be required to pay non-resident tuition plus tuition and fees paid by Chicago residents.

3. Any adult or emancipated minor student who actually resides within the City of Chicago and has not moved to the city within 30 days for the sole purpose of attending the College shall be considered a resident of the City of Chicago.

4. Any student may at any time be required to submit proof of residence in the city. In addition to such public records as may tend to establish proof of residence, an affidavit of the parents or guardian in the case of minor students, and from the student himself in the case of a student who has reached his majority, may be required.

5. By definition, all international students, whether holding diplomatic, student, visitor, or other non-immigrant visas, must pay non-Illinois resident tuition plus tuition and fees paid by Chicago residents. A student who will require an I-20 form to be sent to the local immigration office must contact the Admissions Office prior to registering in order to complete all college registration requirements. A foreign student who fails to do this may find that he is not eligible for an I-20 and hence is subject to deportation.

Residency for Graduation

Students transferring to Wright College from other institutions of higher learning must earn a minimum of 15 semester hours at Wright College to be eligible for the Associate Degree.

Former Wright College students may transfer back to the college up to six credit hours from another institution. A student must have at least 15 semester hours on record at Wright College and be concurrently in attendance for at least one course to transfer back more than six credit hours from another institution.

Improper Academic Behavior

Wilbur Wright College is committed to providing opportunity for every student to achieve the highest possible accomplishments through each student's own best efforts in study, research, written work, and examinations. At all times each student is expected to do his or her own work free of plagiarism or other inappropriate assistance.

Such behavior detracts from the desired learning environment; grades unfairly gained reflect adversely upon the College. Penalties will range from an F on the assignment to failure in the course.
