Career Closet
The Career Closet provides two professional outfits for a student to keep per semester at no charge. By
providing business attire, the hope is to instill confidence in students as they search for employment. Students
may contact Career Services to utilize the Career Closet.
Wisconsin TechConnect – Student Employment Job Listing Database
Intranet access from on-campus computers does not require a password and is available to anyone while on the
NWTC campus. Students and graduates who fall into the following categories are able to access the free
database with a username and password log in:
- A NWTC graduate (anyone who has an associate degree or technical diploma from NWTC)
- A student enrolled in an associate degree or technical diploma program.
NWTC offers guaranteed retraining if an employer certifies that the graduate is lacking the job competencies
specified in the educational program for an entry-level position. NWTC also offers guaranteed retraining for
those graduates who have not secured related employment within six months of graduation as indicated in
Wisconsin Statute 38.24 (4).
Graduate Follow-Up Studies
Graduate follow-up data is listed on the College website and is also available in booklet form. When accessing
this through the NWTC website, go to https://www.nwtc.edu/Student-Experience/Career-Services/Graduate-

CLASS WAITLIST
Automated Class Waitlists are available for the majority of classes offered at NWTC. The availability of an
automated class waitlist is at the discretion of the Learning Departments. Placing oneself on an automated
waitlist allows a student to reserve a place in line for the next available seat in the class. When a seat opens (due
to another student dropping or because the capacity of the section has been increased by the department) the first
student on the waitlist will automatically progress from the waitlist into the class.
The waitlist eliminates the need to watch the schedule of classes for an opening in a class section (the only
exception is 2 days prior to the start of the class). Please refer to the following link for a list of frequently asked
questions. http://www.nwtc.edu/Admissions/Registration/Automated-Class-Waitlist
COPYRIGHT NOTICE
Eight categories of material are protected by copyright law — literary, musical, dramatic, choreographed,
pictorial (or graphics), audio visual, sound recording, and architectural. An original work is considered
copyrighted when it is in a “fixed” or “tangible” medium, (i.e. written down on paper, saved to a computer disk,
recorded on a CD, etc.). Assume that all work is copyrighted, even if the copyright symbol (©) is not on the
material.
To ensure compliance with copyright law, it is always best to request permission from the author. However, the
“Fair Use Doctrine” of current copyright law allows for a small amount of copyrighted material to be used for
academic purposes or news reporting without asking for permission. This means a student can quote or
paraphrase copyrighted material, but he or she must cite the author.
If a student requests and consequently receives permission from the author, he or she must save a copy of the
written permission, or the e-mail granting permission. In cases where the author has preemptively granted
permission, students should follow any directions given about the use of the material.
If students have any questions, or need assistance with a copyright request, they should contact the Library staff.
COUNSELING
Mental Health Counseling is available to students who are enrolled in 3 or more credits per
semester. Counseling is provided by Licensed Professional Counselors skilled in the areas of depression,
anxiety, trauma, family issues, test anxiety, and/or substance abuse. To schedule an appointment, please call

free and confidential service that is provided to students throughout the NWTC district.
