Newly enrolled students can begin registering for classes at Western Nevada College on Nov. 9, according to reports from wnc.edu.
Returning and continuing students already have access to registration for both the upcoming spring semester and the winter session through their myWNC accounts.
The college is offering accelerated online courses during the winter session to help students maintain academic momentum around the holiday season.
Students can choose between two different accelerated formats for their winter studies. These courses cover subjects including art, business, history, information systems, and management.
The five-week sessions are scheduled to run from Dec. 21 through Jan. 22. Registration for these specific courses closes on Dec. 21.
Alternatively, three-week courses will begin on Jan. 4 and conclude on Jan. 22. Students must complete their registration for the three-week option by Jan. 4.
| Course Duration | Start Date | End Date | Registration Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five Weeks | Dec. 21 | Jan. 22 | Dec. 21 |
| Three Weeks | Jan. 4 | Jan. 22 | Jan. 4 |
The spring semester is set to commence on Jan. 25.
Western Nevada College is also forming an eight-week program for Community Health Workers beginning Jan. 27. The course consists of 40 hours of instruction spread over two months.
This program serves as a low-barrier entry point into the healthcare sector, requiring no prior medical experience. It is specifically designed for individuals who are well-connected within under-resourced areas, such as Spanish-speaking or tribal communities.
Those interested in the program can find more details at wnc.edu/continuing-education/career-training/CHW.php.
Beyond academics, the college is managing several community-focused efforts. Nursing students are currently conducting a “Hygiene for the Homeless Drive.”
The drive is accepting donations of soap, socks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deodorant. Participants can drop off items at Cedar Room 216 through Nov. 30.
In October, the college held several events for Breast Cancer Awareness Day. On Oct. 19, the “Picture Us in Pink” event took place at the Dini Student Center, where students and faculty gathered to support survivors and remember loved ones. The Associated Students of Western Nevada (ASWN) also hosted similar awareness activities on the Fallon campus.
