Approval is based on the student providing a reason for the change, and printed verification that the program change allows the student to meet the newly chosen career path. Consult with the WCC Secondary Partnership Director first.

For continued enrollment in Pathways:

• Students must make progress toward high school graduation and cannot delay graduation, and;
• Maintain a 2.0 college GPA in WCC coursework after completing two courses. If a student’s GPA falls below 2.0 after completing 2 college courses, they will be subject to the College’s policy for Satisfactory Academic Progress, which places students on academic warning or probation status (limited credit hours for enrollment).
