Status” by email. The length of a program suspension is one semester exclusive of summer. An
enrollment hold will be placed on the student account. If a student had previously registered for the
upcoming term, his/her next semester classes will be dropped with no penalty. Students are allowed to
enroll in non-credit courses or Program Preparation coursework designed to work on basic academic skills
during the semester of academic suspension. A student may apply for re-enrollment to the college after one
semester by following the academic re-entry procedure found on the student portal. Upon re-admission to a
program, students will remain on academic probation and must meet the academic progress standards stated
above.
Appeal Process
A student has the right to appeal (by submission of an appeal form) a suspension for immediate
readmission.
A team of NWTC staff will review the appeal and make a final determination. The decision of this team is
final. If a student had previously registered for his/her next semester classes and the appeal is denied the
classes will be dropped with no penalty.
Notes
Program changes will not affect a student’s Academic Progress status. Students on academic warning,
academic probation, or academic suspension prior to changing programs will remain on that same status.
*This policy stands as the minimum academic requirements, NWTC programs may have higher
requirements.
ACCOMMODATION FOR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College is committed to embracing the worth of every individual, creating a
place for all people, and promoting the respectful environment necessary for intellectual and personal
discovery. Removing barriers to serve a diverse population with a variety of religious beliefs and practices
sustains this principle.
NWTC may provide a reasonable accommodation based on a person’s sincerely held religious belief. In
making this determination, NWTC reviews a variety of factors, including whether the accommodation
would create an undue hardship for the College. The accommodation request imposes responsibilities and
obligations on both the requesting individual and the College.

Student Responsibilities
Students who have sincerely held religious beliefs and/or practices and require exemption from
participation in specific classroom activities, examinations or other academic requirements, or an absence,
will be subject to the following procedures:
1. Students are responsible to meet with their instructors to discuss, in confidence, their potential
absence or conflicts with academic requirements based on sincerely held religious beliefs after
course competencies, curriculum and expectations have been discussed with the class.
2. Students are to report in writing to the course instructor, during the first five academic days of
class, of known potential conflicts with religious observations. Any exceptions to this timeframe
need to be mutual agreed upon between student and instructor.
3. Make-up assignments provided by instructors will be within seven academic days to avoid
prejudicial effect to a student’s preparation. The instructor is not obligated to schedule a make-up
assignment before the regularly scheduled requirements are due.
Instructor Responsibilities
The instructor is expected to treat information conveyed by a student regarding their religious beliefs as
confidential. The instructor also has a responsibility to facilitate reasonable accommodations based on
student request and to schedule make-up work in a timely manner to avoid prejudicial effect to the student.
