New students who have not previously attended AWC can get started with the guide below.
Returning students who have not taken AWC courses within the past year will need to sign-in to their admission account and reapply for admission. If you encounter any issues accessing your account, we can help you unlock it and reset your password. Please email us at admission@azwestern.edu to avoid creating duplicate accounts.
Students who have attended AWC within the past year do not need to reapply and are encouraged to register for classes on Self-Service or make an Advising Appointment to select classes and create a degree plan.
