ADMISSION QUESTIONS

For questions regarding admission to a NWTC program, students should contact the number listed at the top of the page for their desired degree or diploma program.

The admission process includes a skills assessment test.

High school graduation or equivalence is required to be eligible for federal financial aid.

When does a program have a Waiting List?

NWTC is in compliance with Wisconsin Statute TCS10, which specifically addresses the use of Waiting List. When a sufficient number of applications have been received, processed and accepted to fill the capacity of a program for that term, a Waiting List is established.

Applications will continue to be processed and placed on a Waiting List until a sufficient number are on a Waiting List to fill that program for the following term. The program will then be "closed" to further applications until the following term.

High Demand Programs

Some high demand programs have a waiting list and usually fill early. A Wisconsin state directive gives preference to state residents, before considering out of state applicants.

Pending Application
An application is said to be pending if the contents are not sufficient to make a decision regarding admission. NWTC notifies applicants regarding needed items and the time element that relates.
