ADMISSIONS POLICIES

Equal Opportunity

WMC seeks a diverse student body.  All applicants receive consideration for admissions regardless of race, color, age, sex, physical condition, or national origin.

Provisional Acceptance
 
Applicants who transfer from an unaccredited institution, or who do not meet the admissions criteria, or who have not met the admissions test requirements or who have not completed the admissions process may be granted provisional acceptance. In such cases the conditions and time limitations for full acceptance will be stipulated. When these conditions are met, the provisional status will be removed. Except for extenuating circumstances, the time limitations placed on provisional acceptance will not be extended.
 

APPLICATION PROCESS

An application should be submitted in accordance with the instructions printed on the application form. A nonrefundable application fee of $ 200.00 should accompany the form. It is recommended that high school students apply early in their senior year and that all students complete this application process by July 1 of the year of enrollment.

Upon receipt of the application, the student will be sent the reference forms, health form, doctrinal statement and financial aid forms.
