Get Ready for Winter Classes

Once classes begin, it becomes much more difficult to fix schedule issues. Don't wait until the first day of the semester to contact your BASE advisor for help.

The week before classes begin students should:

Check email for messages from WCC, WTMC, or the WCC Bookstore.
Look for - ebook codes, canceled class notices, & messages from teachers.

Check schedules on PowerSchool, Blackboard/Canvas, and/or MyWCC.
Know where to go and when to go there.

Contact BASE advisor for help if needed.
See your advisor’s Calendly link for meeting times the week before classes resume.

Pick-up winter college books.

Other Supplies for College Classes

Some classes require specialized equipment or materials. WTMC provides most of these with a few exceptions. Students should never pay for any class materials without speaking to Ms. Zoe in the WTMC office first.

Winter Textbook Pick-up

Students with winter college classes MUST PICK UP their textbooks from the WCC Bookstore between Jan. 10 - 24, including books for late-start classes.

Students need their ID and a book sticker to get their winter books.

Students with fall college classes should have gotten a sticker from the bookstore when they returned fall books.

Students without fall college classes or books to return get a sticker from the WTMC office.

eBooks and online Homework Systems

Some college textbooks are ebooks and most WCC math classes use online homework systems.

Students will receive an access code from the WCC Bookstore. ALWAYS BEGIN WITH THE TWO-WEEK FREE TRIAL CODE before activating the full semester code.

Access codes might be received as an email OR on a printed card with your other books. Watch your inbox carefully!

Only activate the full semester code once the trial code expires and you're certain you won't drop the class. Once activated, WTMC cannot be refunded for a code.

Technology Access for College Classes

On-campus computing resources are available for all students. Students can access any software they need in the GM computer commons or department labs. This includes students taking online classes.

Students taking tech-heavy WCC technical classes (VID, CPS, ANI, GDT, PHO, etc.) should expect to spend time on campus in the computer lab.

WTMC will not reimburse students for the cost of software license subscriptions and can not install specialized software for WCC classes on WTMC or personal devices.

A limited number of WCC laptops are available for loan from the GM Learning Commons. Your WCC instructor can help you check one out. Once you have a WCC laptop, email Mr. Long for help accessing the software you need.

Ready for Winter Weather?

WTMC uses the WCC Alert system to send information about snow days or other emergencies.

Students should log in to the WCC Gateway to be sure they’re signed up to receive notifications.

WCC vs. WTMC School Closures

WCC and WTMC have different things to consider when making a decision to cancel classes. There may be times when WTMC classes are canceled while the college remains opens. However, if WCC closes campus, WTMC will also be closed.

Watch for announcements from both WTMC and WCC when winter weather hits.

Transitioning to College Classes

For many WTMC students, the winter semester will be their first experience in a college class. College classes differ from high school classes and it's helpful for parents/guardians to understand the key differences in order to support their students as they begin this new academic challenge.
