• • • The even exchange policy is not in effect when the student is placed on the waitlist for the added class. If adding a NET (online) class, and if open for enrollment, an instructor signature is not required. An exception will be granted for Prepared Learner courses when the student re-enrolls in the recommended course. Any extenuating circumstances to the above must be approved by the Dean for the department offering the course. Classes exchanged due to a College error or institution correction are reimbursed at 100% to the student. Students interested in exchanging classes should contact Enrollment Services in person or by phone, (920) 498-5444 or (888) 385-NWTC. Students requesting information on the College’s refund policy may contact the Student Finance office at (920) 498-5444 or (888) 385-NWTC. Withdrawal from Classes or Programs/Certificates If a student wishes to withdraw from one class or all classes, they must contact Enrollment Services, (920) 498-5444 or (888) 385-NWTC, so that necessary procedures and forms can be completed. These forms may require signatures of the instructor and Dean or Associate Dean of the division. If a student withdraws from a program or certificate, it is the student’s responsibility to also withdraw from classes. A student may wish to continue in classes without pursuing a program or certificate, therefore Student Services is not responsible if a student chooses to remain in classes after withdrawing from a program or certificate. Withdrawing from a program has an impact on financial aid eligibility. If a student withdraws during the refund period, a refund adjustment may be posted to their account. If a student withdraws beyond the refund period, there is no refund adjustment. If a student receives financial aid, veteran’s funding or agency assistance, it is the student’s responsibility to notify a Financial Aid advisor for potential repayment of funds. After the 60% date of a class, no withdrawals are allowed; students will receive the grade earned. If a student has a special circumstance in which a withdrawal would be appropriate, they must contact their instructor. The instructor and/or Dean/Associate Dean will need to approve the withdrawal. The Class Withdrawal Form is available at: http://www.nwtc.edu/services/Admissions- Registration/registration/Pages/WithdrawFromAClass.aspx. Armed Forces: If a student who is a member of a national guard or a member of a reserve unit of the U.S. armed forces withdraws from school after September 11, 2001, because he or she is called into state active duty or into active service with the U.S. armed forces for at least 30 days, the district board shall reenroll the student beginning in the semester following his or her discharge from active duty or the next succeeding semester, whichever the student prefers, and, at the student’s request, do one of the following for all courses from which the student had to withdraw: • • Reimburse the student all tuition and fees paid for all the courses. Grant the student an incomplete in all the courses and permit the student to complete the courses, within six months after leaving state service or active service, without paying additional tuition or fees. Auditing Courses Anyone wishing to review or to obtain general understanding of a subject could request enrollment in a class as an auditing student. As an auditor, students may attend classes, receive a grade of Audit (AU), and are not required to take examinations. Audited classes are not considered part of a credit load and cannot be used to satisfy prerequisites or graduation requirements or applied toward financial benefits. Audit fees are the same as regular class cost. Students may audit most levels of classes (Associate Degree, Technical Diploma, or Vocational) at the College. Exceptions include: Community Service (60 level) and designated open-entry, self-paced or online classes which include Online (NET), or Self-Paced (SP). 18
