Step 3 – The decision of the Faculty-Student Committee shall be final, subject only to the right of appeal to
the Vice Presidents of Learning and Student Services. This appeal must be submitted in writing within five
working days following the committee’s decision.
Exception for Health Sciences Clinical Students - Any Health Science clinical course grade appeal will
be heard by the Health Sciences Appeals Committee. The student will follow the same appeals process as
outlined above. The committee will be chaired by the Dean or Associate Dean of Health Sciences. The
committee will have seven members. Membership will include three Health Science program students that
are not in the program of the person grieving the clinical grade, and three faculty (with one being a
counselor acting in the role of advisor) who are members of the Health Science Appeals Committee. The
committee will strive for a cross-section of health program members; avoiding any conflict of interest
through program assignment or student familiarity.
All grade disputes must follow the above schedule, although time frames can be modified with the
approval of the Vice President of Student Services or his/her designee.
Any personal conflict between student and faculty member must be reconciled through the Learning
Division (student must see their Dean or Associate Dean).
STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE
All NWTC students enrolled in credit classes, a practicum program, and certain other courses will be
automatically enrolled in the Wisconsin Technical Colleges Mandatory Accident Only Insurance Plan.
The Accident Only Insurance Plan provides medical benefits up to $50,000 with no deductible when an
accident occurs while on campus, attending a practicum program or other recognized student group
approved by the College, or during travel to and from a program. The plan offers comprehensive benefits
that include hospital room and board, inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures, labs and x-rays,
physician office visits, ambulance, durable medical equipment, emergency care and prescription drugs.
Those not eligible for student accident insurance are:
• Students whose class charges are paid by their employer

The cost of the Plan is $6.00 per semester. For more information, please access the website at

STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
In order to maintain high standards of instruction and to permit all who attend NWTC to obtain the most
from their educational experience, students will a) conduct themselves in a manner as to comply with all
civil and criminal laws and College policies and regulations while on NWTC properties or off-site school
sponsored events; b) not interfere with the educational process of the College in any manner; c) conduct
themselves both on-campus and off-site so that they do not endanger the safety or well-being of other
students, staff or faculty.
Related to student conduct, the term “student” includes any person who is currently enrolled for a course of
studies except those on program hiatus. Persons who are not officially enrolled for a particular term but
who have a continuing relationship with NWTC or have been notified of their acceptance for admission are
considered students. This applies to all NWTC campuses, centers or sites owned and/or operated by NWTC
as well as all classrooms, labs, clinics, or other college designated areas, regardless of mode of program
