WE WELCOME YOU
WELCOME TO NORTHEAST WISCONSIN TECHNICAL COLLEGE
Your service to our country is greatly appreciated and we are honored
that you have chosen NWTC as the college to help you achieve academic
success and meet your dreams and goals. As a Student Veteran at NWTC
you are entitled to certain benefits and programs that are designed to aid
in your academic success. This handbook will discuss not only those
programs, but also act as a quick reference to help you better understand
