I'm a high school junior and thinking about applying to Wilkes Community College. Can anyone tell me when the application deadline is? I want to make sure I don't miss it.
Wilkes Community College, like many community colleges, has a unique system known as "rolling admissions." This means that they do not have a hard-set application deadline. Instead, they continue to review applications until they've filled all the spots in the upcoming class.
However, it's always beneficial to apply as early as possible. This gives you a better chance of securing a spot, and provides plenty of time for financial aid considerations or making housing arrangements if needed.
While there isn't a strict deadline, many community colleges, including Wilkes, often recommend that students try to have their materials seated at least a few weeks before the start of the semester they wish to enroll in. This is due to the time it might take for the college to process your application and arrange for class scheduling.
Just to note, each fall and spring term probably have their own "preferred" deadlines. These preferred deadlines are simply the dates by which the college suggests you submit all your materials for the highest chance of class availability, so make sure you stay updated with the college's own admissions webpage for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
I hope this information helps, and best of luck with your application to Wilkes Community College!
