Financial Policies The financial aid process, tuition and fees, payments, refunds, and how to pay for college.

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.

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 studentaid.gov.

For more information or questions contact the Financial Aid office at (920) 498-5444 or (888) 385-NWTC, email finaid@nwtc.edu, or stop in the Welcome Center, Room SC240 on the Green Bay Campus.

Class Fees

The Wisconsin Technical College System Board and the NWTC Board of Trustees officially sets course fees. Fees are established each spring for the following school year and are subject to change without notice.

Payment is due by the first day of the term. For students who register after the first day of the term, payment is due within 10 days of the registration date. Program, security, and activity fees are charged on a per-credit basis. In addition, students must pay a material fee assigned by the State Board to the educational area of instruction. In some cases, additional project related fees are charged by the individual classes.  Learn more about how tuition is calculated and what a program will cost and what fees are associated.  

The act of registering for a class creates an obligation to pay. Payment in full is due by the first day of the term. Students who do not have a payment method in place by the due date, will have a hold placed on their account preventing further registration, exchange of classes, processing of program applications, testing and release of grades until tuition and fees are paid. Students are responsible for all additional fees assessed resulting from a past due balance.
