Refunds are processed according to the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) Refund Policy for program, material, activity and non-resident tuition fees.
Refunds are applicable only from the date the student formally notifies Enrollment Services or a regional campus office of their intent to drop a course(s) or completely withdraw from all courses. The act of registering for classes creates an obligation to pay regardless of attendance or payment. All classes have a limited number of seats available. Your registration reserves a seat in each of your classes. NWTC will not drop classes for non-payment or non-attendance. Drop requests are not accepted through instructors.
Students who decide to withdraw from a course should do so immediately as a single day can make a difference in the amount of the refund. Students are given a confirmation number when a course is dropped. Students must retain the confirmation number as proof of the drop request.
Students registering after the official start date of a course are subject to the refund policy as stated. Please note: The official start date for on-line courses is the class start date published. The start date is not determined by the date the student first access the course or obtains the course materials.
Any refund under $ 4.00 will be issued only upon request by the student. Student refunds may be claimed by NWTC to pay outstanding student debts or by the Financial Aid Office to cover grant repayments and outstanding student loans.
The WTCS Refund Policy states:
|
Refund of Class |
Percent of Refund |
| Drop before the first scheduled meeting of the class |
100% |
| If 10.0% or less of the total class meetings have passed at time of drop. |
80% |
| If more than 10.0%, but less than 20.0% of the total class meetings have passed at time of drop. |
60% |
| After more than 20.0% of the total class meetings have passed at time of drop. |
0% |
After the first scheduled day of class, miscellaneous class-related fees (i.e. luncheon, insurance, etc) are non-refundable.
You may drop a class in several ways: through the my.NWTC web portal at www.nwtc.edu; by phone at (920) 498-5444 or (888) 385-6982; or in person at the Green Bay Campus Welcome Center at any NWTC location. While you should inform your instructor of your intent to drop a course, drop requests are not accepted through instructors.
** Students are fully responsible for tuition and fees. To avoid charges, late fees and collection activities, students must pay class fees by the due date and must drop any classes through Enrollment Services. Students will not be automatically dropped from classes by not attending.
