Circulation Policies for Materials and Equipment
Books and magazines circulate for two weeks. DVDs circulate for one week. Reference materials can be
photocopied for free, but do not circulate.
Students may also check out a student laptop for use in the Library or for after hours (up to 3 days). Additional
equipment is also available, including video cameras. Ask about daily availability at the Library desk.
Most items can be renewed by phone or online unless someone else is waiting to borrow the material. Students
receive a courtesy notice via email reminding them that materials will be due soon.
Overdue materials are subject to fines. Students will be sent overdue notices via mail or email if they keep
materials longer than the lending period. Grades and transcripts will be withheld if materials are not returned
and fines are not paid.
Ask a Librarian via email or Chat
Students can also visit the Library’s home page, the Library tab in Blackboard, or the Resources tab of
my.NWTC to “Ask a Librarian” using instant chat. Chat sessions provide an interactive conversation with a
librarian. E-mail questions are forwarded to librarians who try to answer questions within 24 hours.

PRE-PROGRAM ADMISSION STATUS
Students may be admitted to a pre-program status if additional skill development is needed in the areas of
Reading, Sentence Skills, Arithmetic, Algebra, and/or College Level Math. An applicant may also be assigned
to pre-program to work on additional requirements or based on program capacity. All pre-program applicants
will be advised how to complete their requirements and will be offered full program status when all requirements
are met and the program has capacity.
PROGRAM CHANGES
Students may switch to another associate degree or technical diploma program by completing an application for
the new program. All admissions requirements apply for the new program and no priority is given for previously
admitted students. Program changes should be discussed with a counselor/advisor before a final decision is
made. If a student has been accepted to a program and is no longer interested in the program, the student should
indicate in writing his/her desire to be removed from the program and submit it to Admissions/Program
Enrollment. All students are limited to one active pathway.
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 may have an impact on financial aid eligibility.
REFUND POLICY
Refunds are processed according to the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) Refund Policy. Refunds
are applicable only from the date the student officially drops the course(s) through Enrollment Services, any
NWTC campus location, or my.NWTC. Students will be given a confirmation number when a class is dropped.
It is the students’ responsibility to obtain and retain the confirmation number as proof of their drop.
