Yakima Admissions Office

About the Yakima Admissions Office


The Yakima Admissions Office is co-located in the Yakima School District building.

This partnership supports local students to explore college options, receive direct support with application process, overview of onboarding, and more.

CWU knows that students have families, jobs, and commitments that don't always allow them to travel to the main office in Ellensburg. The Yakima Admissions Office provides individual appointments in English and Spanish, programming for prospective and newly admitted students, and information sessions to prepare student and their support networks to become future Wildcats.
