MEDICAL/CLINICAL ASSISTANT
Prospective students can enroll at any time during the college year
and be eligible to start classes on the next scheduled entry date. The next
section lists the starting and completion or graduation dates for all programs
offered at WTC. The college will try to accommodate the student’s chosen
start date and preferred class schedule, but due to the limitation of the
college’s facilities, the college’s overall enrollment scheduling, and/or
inadequate enrollment as determined by the college at its sole discretion,
the college may at any time:
(I) Reschedule student’s chosen start date;
(II) Assign the student a non-preferred class schedule; and/or
(III) Cancel the program.
If the college cancels the program, the enrollment agreement will
have been effectively cancelled by the college. If a student’s chosen start
date is rescheduled, the student may re-enroll in the program for a different
start date. If a student is assigned a non-preferred class schedule, the student
may cancel the agreement by delivering written notice of cancellation to
the college prior to the student’s scheduled start date. If the student does
not cancel the agreement by delivering written notice of cancellation to
the college prior to the student’s scheduled start date, the student will
have accepted and agreed to his/her assigned class schedule.
