Your checklist items will be determined by what program you’ve applied for. We recommend all students have their official high school transcripts and official college transcripts sent to Western for evaluation. Additional checklist items, including any forms that need to be submitted, can be found on your program’s web page: www.westerntc.edu/academic-programs. Each page has an “Admissions Requirements” tab. Admissions Forms can be sent to admissions@westerntc.edu. If a form has no signature page it is informational only, and does not need to be turned in. If your program requires an intent to enroll please connect with your admissions coach.
Background Check and Health Portal Requirements
Programs in Health Sciences, Law, Public Safety, Corrections and Security, and Education utilize ViewPoint Screening for required background check and immunization requirements. Early Childhood Education has a different background check process. Please refer to that program’s page for details.
Background Checks
The background check cost is $40 through ViewPoint Screening. View the Background Check Instructions. It is very important to complete the Background Information Disclosure (BID) Form in its entirety before uploading to ViewPoint. Failure to do so could result in additional charges from ViewPoint Screening.
Health Portal/Immunization Requirements
The Health Portal cost is $20 through ViewPoint Screening. View the Health Portal Instructions. Wisconsin has open immunization records which can be accessed online: WI Immunization Registry. Please pay special attention to the acceptable documents for each immunization or testing requirement.
