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 on financial need. Financial need is the difference between the
student’s established educational expenses and resources the student and/or family have available to meet those
costs, which is determined by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students must
complete the FAFSA each year and the application can be completed at www.fafsa.gov
For more information or questions, Ask an Eagle on the website at www.nwtc.edu/financialaid, contact the
Financial Aid office at (920) 498-5444 or (888) 385-NWTC, email [email protected], or stop in the Welcome
Center, Room SC240 on the Green Bay Campus.
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

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.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION
NWTC welcomes and encourages free speech at all College campuses and locations. Students are welcome to
assemble and/or exercise free speech that does not disrupt learning, enter areas that contain confidential records,
or disrupt college operations. For questions or to report concerns, please contact the Dean of Student
Development.
Students have rights under the United States Constitution which may be exercised in the College as in other
public institutions. The law recognizes that these rights are subject to restraints that may be imposed because of
the College’s role and function. It is the policy of the Board of Trustees of NWTC to respect the properly
exercised rights of students.
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:
