The College will charge students tuition and fees as required by the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS). The College may assess other charges deemed appropriate by the District Board. Students are expected to pay tuition/fees/charges in full at the start of each term or during registration thereafter. Students unable to pay tuition/fees/charges in full at the time of registration may enter into a payment agreement with the College.

 

Students requesting a payment agreement should complete a payment agreement form. Students must enter into the agreement acknowledging their intent to pay tuition/fees/charges over time.

 

A non-refundable processing and handling fee may be assessed each time a Student enters a payment agreement.

 

Students failing to pay installments on time according to the payment agreement are subject to the withholding of records per Policy J-320 – Withholding of Student Records until all tuition/fees/charges are paid in full. Once full restitution is made, no permanent record of the payment default will be kept.


Students with a past-due balance over $200 will not be allowed to re-enroll at the College until the account is paid unless the student meets the eligibility requirements and completes all steps required by Procedure J-650.1 – Course Registration with Past-due Balance.

 

The College will reasonably contact the Student to collect unpaid fees. Failure to collect unpaid fees may result in escalating collection efforts, i.e., collection agencies and other legal proceedings per Policy J-650 – Student Financial Obligation.
