Getting Started

Carbon County Higher Education Center (CCHEC) is the Rawlins Outreach Campus for Western Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs. Western offers 2-year degrees and certificates via distance.

There are many on-site courses in Rawlins and online courses available to choose from, whether you are just taking a class or two to explore your interests, taking courses to transfer to another school, or working towards completing a degree through Western.


Full- Time (12+ credits) Students & Degree Seeking Students

1. All students planning to attend full-time or seeking to complete a degree, an online application must be completed.

2. Complete the Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible. Students must complete the FAFSA each year that they attend school in order to qualify for and receive Federal financial aid. Students paying for courses on their own can skip this step.

3. Complete the McCann & ALEKS placement tests for appropriate placement in English, Math, and Science courses. Placement tests are free of charge for Western students and can be scheduled with the CCHEC Test Center by calling 307-328-9274 or emailing Cory Hudson.

4. Meet with an advisor to register for classes each semester. Cory Hudson is the Student Services Coordinator at CCHEC and can be reached at 307-328-9274.


Part-Time (11 or fewer credits per semester) students & Non-Degree Seeking students
