If at any point you find yourself having difficulty with this application, or with an application for one of our scholarship or grant programs, please reach out to one of our helpful Academic Coaches for assistance! (Please note that our program requires all students to have and regularly check an e-mail address. This is one of the things our Academic Coaches can assist with. ) To get help from an Academic Coach, you can:  \n• Walk into the WNC Library on our Carson City or Fallon campuses. Visit [library.wnc.edu/home and](library.wnc.edu/home and) click on “Academic Coaching” to see when coaches are available.  \n• Schedule a time to meet with a coach online. Visit [library.wnc.edu/home](library.wnc.edu/home) and click on“Academic Coaching,” then register for a WCOnline account by clicking “Register for an account.”  \nIf you need computer and/or internet access for any part of the application, you can walk into either of our library locations anytime they are open to use a computer.  \nDisability Support Services If you have a disability that may make it more difficult for you to complete the application or the course, we encourage you to reach out to our Disability Support Services office at (775) 445-4459 or [susan.trist@wnc.edu](susan.trist@wnc.edu. You)[. You](susan.trist@wnc.edu. You) can also fill out an Application for Services [at](at wnc.edu/dss)[ ](at wnc.edu/dss)[wnc.edu/dss](at wnc.edu/dss).  \nIs English your second language? Many of our students speak English as a second (or even third or fourth!) language. We respect the tenacity it takes to learn a new occupation using a language that is less familiar to you. This program does require students to have a strong command of the English language, including being able to understand and follow instructions, read course materials, and communicate clearly. If you’re concerned that you may not be ready to do this, we strongly recommend that you reach out to the ACCEL College and Career Readiness program. This program offers free English Language Learning instruction for students at all levels. You can contact them at [accel@wnc.edu](accel@wnc.edu) or (775) 445.4452.  \nStep 1 – Make Sure You Qualify  \nHere are the things we consider when deciding whether to accept a student into our program. Take a look at this list – if you have concerns about anything here, give our office a call at (775) 445-4210 or e-mail us at [conted@wnc.edu](conted@wnc.edu) to ask whether you’ll qualify.  \n• Is there anything concerning on your 10-year driving record? Just because you have something on your driving record doesn’t mean you’re automatically disqualified. We take a look at each student’s driving record individually and consider the circumstances. A single speeding ticket a few years ago is probably not going to disqualify you from the program, but a recent DUI, reckless driving citation, or a whole lot of smaller traffic offenses might. If you’re wondering – ask!  \n• Are you physically capable of safely driving a truck (with or without accommodations)? You’ll need to have a doctor verify that you have the physical ability to safely drive a commercial vehicle. This includes having good eyesight (with or without  \nglasses/contacts), good hearing (with or without hearing aids), healthy blood pressure and pulse rates, and several other items that the doctor will review with you. We have physician partners here in town that we work with directly, so if you’re concerned, let us know and we’ll get you an answer!  \n• Can you pass a drug screen? Yep, this includes testing negative for THC within 30 days of the start of your program. We are subject to federal regulations, and it’s still illegal federally.  \n• Are you able and willing to get a job in the commercial driving industry once you complete the program? This is primarily a career training program, so we want to make sure we’re training people that can get jobs in the industry.
