New Student
Step 1 – Complete Application
You can also apply in person at the Admissions Office on the first floor of the Wayne Learning Center.
Step 2 – Activate Your My Bison ID Account
Allow at least 24 hours after you submit your application to the college before you try to activate your My Bison ID.
- Go to the My Bison ID page.
- Read the information on that page to learn your username and initial password, then click on the Okta Portal button to log into the Okta Portal, where you can access Student Email (Gmail), Moodle, Self-Service, Bison Alerts, Microsoft Office 365, and other online services during your time at WCC.
Step 3 – Apply for Financial Aid / Veteran’s Aid
Complete your FAFSA to begin the financial aid process.
WCC’s Federal School Code is 008216.
Apply as early as possible, as it can take several weeks to process your financial aid application.
Step 4 – Submit Official Transcripts
We need transcripts from your high school (or High School Equivalency/GED Certification and scores) and any colleges you have attended in the past.
And yes, this means you are required to provide transcripts no matter when you graduated from high school, and transcripts for all college classes you attempted or completed.
- Transcripts can be sent electronically to: wcc-admissions@waynecc.edu
or mailed to:
Wayne Community College
