It is expected that all incoming freshmen will complete the 21-day trip prior to starting classes in the fall. However, we understand that there might be a legitimate need to defer the trip until the following year. Because the 21-day trip is a requirement of the academic curriculum, the only person that can approve a deferment is the Academic Dean. To request a deferment of the 21-day trip, please complete this form. If you want to defer both the 21-day trip and your attendance at WCC until next fall, please contact your Admissions Counselor. By signing this form, you acknowledge that the information you provided is true and correct. If additional information or documentation is requested, you agree to respond and provide it within a reasonable time. You also acknowledge that the deferment request is not approved until you receive a decision from the Academic Dean. If the deferment request is approved, you understand that you are expected to participate in the 21-day trip prior to the start of your sophomore year. In order to participate in the other outdoor trips and the winter trip during your freshman year, we need to receive a completed Physical Examination Form that has an endorsement from a health care provider that you are physically able to complete the trip(s). If you were not able to participate in the 21-day trip due to illness or injury, a letter from your treating health care provider stating that your illness or injury has resolved and you are well enough to participate is required.
