With the understanding that it cannot deny a student’s review and inspection of their records, NWTC reserves
the right to withhold release of copies of a student’s education records and transcripts or grades in the following
situations:
•
•
A student has an outstanding financial obligation to NWTC (including, but not limited to, unpaid tuition
or financial aid, book or supply fees, library fines, NSF checks, etc.)
There is an unresolved disciplinary action against the student.
Student Records
Transcripts of educational records will contain only information about educational status. Information from
disciplinary or counseling files will not be available to unauthorized persons on campus or to any person off
campus without the expressed consent of the student involved except under legal compulsion or in cases where
safety of persons or property is involved. No records will be kept which reflect the political activities or beliefs
of students. Provisions will also be made for periodic routine destruction of non-current disciplinary records.
Administrative staff and faculty members will respect confidential information about students that they acquire
in the course of their work. Students can have access to their personal educational records through a member of
the Enrollment Services professional staff.
FINANCIAL AID
The Financial Aid Office provides information about financial aid opportunities and eligibility. Although the
major responsibility for financing a college education resides with the student and their family, NWTC is able to
assist students in meeting their educational expenses. Assistance may be in the form of grants, scholarships,
loans, employment, or a combination of these.

Grants and scholarships are financial aid that does not have to be repaid.
Work-study enables students to work and earn money to help pay for school.
Loans are borrowed money that must be repaid with interest.
Many of the financial aid programs are based upon financial need. Financial need is the difference between the
students established educational expenses and resources the student and/or family have available to meet those
costs. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov each
year in order to apply for financial aid.
For more information contact the Financial Aid office at (920) 498-5444 or (888) 385-NWTC, refer to the
College catalog, or stop in the Welcome Center, Room SC240 on the Green Bay campus. Students seeking
financial aid should visit the Financial Aid page on NWTC’s website at www.nwtc.edu.
Scholarships
Scholarships are similar to grants in that there is no obligation to repay them, however scholarships are awarded
through a competitive process. Scholarship information is available through NWTC’s Educational Foundation
Office, Room DO207, or by calling (920) 498-6914 or (800) 422-NWTC, extension 6914. This information is
also available on the NWTC Web site, www.nwtc.edu/scholarships.
Fall Scholarship Application: Open March 1 – April 30
Spring Scholarship Application: October 1 – November 1
Federal Education Tax Benefits
Some costs of attending college may result in federal tax advantages. Students and parents should consult with
tax advisors for specific information regarding eligibility. NWTC cannot provide tax advice to students.
On an annual basis, NWTC will provide 1098-T statements to those students determined to have eligible charges
for tax purposes. Students are encouraged to retain receipts for tuition payments made during the calendar year
for tax filing purposes. Please note that student financial information cannot be released to anyone other than
students over the age of 18 without written authorization from the student. The Student Finance Office can be
contacted at (920) 498-5444 or (888) 385-6982, with questions regarding this information.
GRADING SYSTEM
Each student attending NWTC receives a grade from the instructor at the end of a term or class session. A letter
grade based on a 4.0 grading scale is used, each grade carries a specified point value per credit unit and grades A
through C equate to satisfactory progress. The point values for grades are:
