How do I apply to Wake Tech Community College?

I'm considering Wake Tech Community College and want to know more about the application process. What are the essential steps I need to follow, and are there specific deadlines to be aware of?

Applying to Wake Technical Community College (Wake Tech) is a multi-step process that you can complete online. Here's a general idea of the steps involved:

1. Complete the Application: Your first step is to complete an online application through the college's website. You'll need to provide personal and educational details for this purpose.

2. Apply for Financial Aid: If you need financial assistance, it's good to start applying for financial aid as soon as possible. You'll want to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), using Wake Tech’s school code: 004844.

3. Send Transcripts: After you've applied, make sure to have your high school transcript (or equivalent) sent to the Admissions Office at Wake Tech. If you've earned college credits elsewhere, you'll want those transcripts sent over too.

4. Placement Tests: Depending on your program and your SAT/ACT scores, you may be required to take a placement test, which helps the college gauge your ability in core academic areas.

5. Academic Advising and Registration: Once your application is complete and you've taken any required tests, you'll attend a New Student Orientation session. Afterward, you will meet with an academic advisor to discuss your course plan and register for classes.

In terms of deadlines, they can vary based on the semester you intend to enroll. Overall, it's recommended that you apply at least two months before the start of the semester to give yourself plenty of time to complete all the required steps and ensure everything goes smoothly. Remember to regularly check their website for the most current information and specific dates.
