Current Wyoming Statute assigns various annual review and reporting requirements to the Wyoming Community College Commission (WCCC). These reports are prepared for state agencies, the governor, and the legislature.
The following section contains various reports produced by the WCCC during the last three years. Older versions of many reports are available upon request. If you would like an older version of any of these reports, please contact the WCCC Policy Analyst at (307) 777-7226.
Because continued institutional accreditation is reaffirmed for various periods of time and institutions applied for candidacy at various times in the past, each of the Wyoming community colleges is at a different phase of the on-going institutional accreditation process. This summary report is provided in compliance with W.S. 21-18-202(e)(i), which requires the Community College Commission to “report the findings of institutional and specialized accreditation studies.”
In accordance with W.S. 28-1-115(c), the WCCC prepares an annual report providing details of the efforts made during the year towards the goals and objectives included in the agency's strategic plan. This report is prepared for the governor and legislative service office to provide them with a basis for evaluation of attainment of those goals and objectives.
The reports herein reflect the performance of the seven Wyoming colleges as a system and may be utilized in discussion about what Wyoming community colleges do well, what can be improved upon, and how program and service improvement and student success can be further facilitated to satisfy the needs and expectations of the communities served by the seven Wyoming community colleges. Wyoming community colleges take their responsibilities to the citizens of Wyoming seriously and strive to provide excellent service to their students, communities, and the state.
The costs associated with attending a Wyoming community college vary depending on the the college. While the cost of tuition per credit hour is the same for all Wyoming community colleges, the individual fees and costs of room and board vary depending on the institution.
2010 Session Laws also direct the WY Community College Commission (WCCC) to report on the expenditure of major maintenance support from the state’s general fund (GF). WCCC did not receive any GF support for major maintenance, only funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act/State Fiscal Stabilization Funds (ARRA/SFSF). Consequently, this report fulfills both statutory requirements.
The following reports are a collection of the new and previously established partnerships that Wyoming community colleges cultivated and maintained during the previous three fiscal years. The essential multi-dimensional role Wyoming’s community colleges play becomes apparent in these reports. Serving as comprehensive community colleges, transfer preparation institutions, vocational educators, providers of workforce training and personal development education, and cultural centers, Wyoming community colleges recognize the need for collaboration, diversity, and dedication. Recognizing this, Wyoming community colleges establish and maintain numerous partnerships and agreements every year. These partnering relationships result in a variety of benefits not only for the students but also for the communities and college service areas throughout the state.
