Students interested in exchanging classes should contact Enrollment Services in person or by phone, (920) 498-
5444 or (888) 385-NWTC. Students requesting information on the College’s refund policy may contact the
Student Finance office at (920) 498-5444 or (888) 385-NWTC.
Withdrawal from Classes or Programs/Certificates
If a student wishes to withdraw from one class or all classes, they must contact Enrollment Services, (920) 498-
5444 or (888) 385-NWTC, so that necessary procedures and forms can be completed. These forms may require
signatures of the instructor and Dean or Associate Dean of the division.
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.
If a student withdraws during the refund period, a refund adjustment may be posted to their account. If a student
withdraws beyond the refund period, there is no refund adjustment. If a student receives financial aid, veteran’s
funding or agency assistance, it is the student’s responsibility to notify a Financial Aid advisor for potential
repayment of funds.
After the 60% date of a class, no withdrawals are allowed; students will receive the grade earned. If a student
has a special circumstance in which a withdrawal would be appropriate, they must contact their instructor. The
instructor and/or Dean/Associate Dean will need to approve the withdrawal. The Class Withdrawal Form is
available at: http://www.nwtc.edu/services/Admissions-
Registration/registration/Pages/WithdrawFromAClass.aspx.

Auditing Courses
Anyone wishing to review or to obtain general understanding of a subject could request enrollment in a class as
an auditing student. As an auditor, students may attend classes, receive a grade of Audit (AU), and are not
required to take examinations. Audited classes are not considered part of a credit load and cannot be used to
satisfy prerequisites or graduation requirements or applied toward financial benefits. Audit fees are the same as
regular class cost.
Students may audit most levels of classes (Associate Degree, Technical Diploma, or Vocational) at the College.
Exceptions include: Community Service (60 level) and designated open-entry, self-paced or online classes which
include Online (NET), or Self-Paced (SP).
The College reserves the right to determine certain classes as inappropriate for audit and/or limit the number of
auditing students per class.
Audit Requirements:

2.
Audit fees are due at the time of registration.
