Basic Information
Beginning Summer 2010, course fees for Wisconsin residents are $106.00 per credit plus a minimum of $4.00 material fee and $6.35 per credit activity fee. The activity fee is charged for classes held at Sky Plaza and Pewaukee Campus. A $10.00 per credit (minimum of $10.00) on-line course fee will be assessed.
Unless a payment arrangement has been made, tuition and fees will be due as follows:
- Fall semester fees will be due August 15 or 15 days from date of registration, whichever is later.
- Spring semester fees will be due January 15 or 15 days from date of registration, whichever is later.
- Summer semester fees will be due 15 days from date of registration.
Monthly statements will be mailed at the beginning of each month for amounts outstanding of $3 or more.
WCTC will work with agencies that intend to pay your expenses. The sponsoring agency must submit a written agreement to Employment and Training Services indicating which expenses will be paid.
After enrolling, WCTC will bill the sponsoring agency for your approved expenses. For additional information regarding agency sponsored students, please contact Suzanne Kornely in the Employment and Training Services 262.691.5524 for an appointment.
Out-of-State
All students residing outside of Wisconsin are required to pay an out-of-state tuition fee in addition to the fees. This fee applies to credit and non-credit classes. The total per credit tuition charges assessed to out-of-state students is *$159.00, except for Internet classes which are charged at *$10.00 per credit in addition to the regular course fees. If you live in Minnesota, you will be exempt from any out-of-state fees because the State of Wisconsin has a reciprocal admissions agreement with the State of Minnesota. ***Note: No activity fee is charged for distance learning classes. Please call 262.691.5283 for more information about out-of-state fees.
Non-Resident Tuition
Students residing outside the WCTC District are not required to pay non-resident tuition. Recent changes in state statues have abolished non-resident tuition for all Wisconsin resident students.
Fee Refund Policy
When a student registers for a course, the student owes the fee. It is your responsibility to drop a course before it begins or during the refund period to qualify for a credit to your financial account.
Classes may be dropped via the student web, if the option to drop is available or in-person. Classes that are canceled or discontinued will be dropped by the College and refunds will be issued.
Students will not be dropped automatically if they don't pay for a class or attend the class.
Refund Schedule
Refunds are based on the course's total potential hours of instruction completed. Potential hours are calculated at 12:00 a.m. for the current day.
| % of hrs completed | Refund |
|---|---|
| Through 11:59 p.m. the day prior to the class start date. | 100% |
| Up to 10% | 80% |
