Academic Advising

The Student Success team is here to support all first-time students and those returning after one year or more!

Registering for Classes

Not only does the Advising Team at WNCC link students with faculty and staff advisors, they also provide support and recommendations for registering for classes and changing your schedule.

New Students

If you are new to WNCC, you must first apply for admission. After you have been accepted, one of our Admissions Counselors will reach out to discuss your next steps in the admissions process. All new students must register for classes with an academic advisor. Students attending in Alliance or Sidney will register with an advisor on your Campus.

Alliance Campus: 308.763.2000
Sidney Campus: 308.254.5450

Current Students

All current students (those who were enrolled in the previous semester excluding summer), need to meet with their assigned faculty advisor to review and approve academic plans. Once approved, students can register for the next semester's classes using the Student Planner, which is found on the ClassLink.

Please note, all students MUST register for classes at least one week prior to when classes begin.
