1. Fill out admission application & submit with transcripts (if required)
It's easy to apply online. Complete and send a Wisconsin Technical College System application to FVTC, including a $30 nonrefundable admission fee.

Determine how much your education is going to cost and how you’re going to pay for it. If you need financial help, you should apply for financial aid in January before you start school, or as soon as possible after January. You are encouraged to apply for financial aid and admission to FVTC simultaneously. Note: You should complete your previous year’s taxes before applying for financial aid.
5. Enter your program
If all admissions requirements are met, you will receive a letter from the college acknowledging your accepted enrollment. An invitation from Counseling Services will follow, outlining specific program information and inviting you to contact a counselor for academic planning details.
6. Attend new student orientation & register for your classes
After you have completed the entire application process, you will be contacted by mail to schedule a new student orientation. The orientation is required for all new students entering a program. Orientations take place about two to three months before your classes begin and last about four hours. You will learn about the many services available at the college, student life beyond the classroom and college policies. You will also meet with faculty and staff who will help you register online for your classes. For some programs, a separate program orientation may be required.
