Transfer Students

If you are a transfer student have you heard about Westerners in Transition (WIT)?

WIT is Western State College's premiere program for Adult Learners and Non-Traditional students. WIT will guide you through the processes of navigating admissions, financial aid, registration, and other important steps involved in matriculating at Western. You will meet other students who share your experiences of going to college as an adult learner and can provide essential mentoring as you work toward your goal of a college degree.
