Opportunities for Every Student
Attend full-time or part-time
Our tuition is based on the number of credits a student takes per semester. Full-time students register for 12 or more credits and part-time students register for fewer than 12 credits. Students taking 1-11 credits and 19 or more credits per semester are charged per credit. Students taking 12-18 credits per semester are charged a flat tuition rate. No matter which option you choose, Westmoreland is affordable! Learn more about tuition and fees.
Students with a GED
High school graduates or those who hold a GED high school equivalency are granted admission to the college. Individuals 18 years of age and older who have not earned a high school diploma or a GED are admitted to the college if they can demonstrate their ability to benefit from the college experience. After successfully completing 30 credits at Westmoreland, they may be eligible to petition for a Commonwealth Secondary School Diploma.
