Can I take courses through SCN during the summer?
Start College Now is not available for summer.
How much high school credit will be earned through SCN?
High school credit earned is at the discretion of the high school district.
Am I guaranteed the class(es) I have been approved to take?
No. Class sizes are limited and times, dates, campus locations, and delivery formats vary. Classes are filled on a first come, first-served basis. We encourage early submission of Start College Now applications. Students may want to list alternative courses on the original SCN form.
May I take courses through SCN and ECCP (Early College Credit Program – UW System) at the same time?
No. Per state statute 118.55, 2(a), sub. (7t) (c), students may alternate by semester but cannot participate in both programs concurrently. Students may still enroll in contracted courses and/or dual credit with the technical college while enrolled in ECCP. This statute only refers to concurrent enrollment in SCN and ECCP.
Will NTC’s academic calendar align with my high school calendar?
No. A SCN student is expected to follow NTC’s academic calendar and may need to be in class when their high school is off. Semester start and end dates will also be different.
I received a tuition bill in the mail. Am I required to pay?
No, not if it was approved by NTC and your high school as part of Start College Now. If you receive a bill, please contact NTC Student Finance at studentfinance@ntc.edu or 715-803-1443.
Why was my class denied by NTC?
NTC typically denies a class because a student doesn’t meet the class pre-requisite or co-requisite.
What is a pre-requisite? What is a co-requisite?
A pre-requisite is a requirement that must be completed before you can enroll in a class. A co-requisite is a requirement that must be taken at the same time as the class you wish to take.
I signed up for a class but changed my mind and don’t want to attend. What should I do?
- You are responsible for notifying the college. If you started your class but want to withdraw, email or call Crystal Witt-Whybrow at wittwhybrow@ntc.edu or 715-803-1228. We will discuss the withdrawal process, refund rules and impact of dropping a class that has already begun.
- You are responsible for notifying the college. If your class(es) hasn’t started yet, email or call Crystal Witt-Whybrow at wittwhybrow@ntc.edu or 715-803-1228.
Can my high school require me to reimburse the cost of a dropped or failed SCN class?
Yes. This decision is up to the high school district. Check your high school’s policy.
