NTC must comply with the following admissions priority for full capacity programs, which adheres to Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter TCS 10:

  1. Application Completion Date: Students are ranked based on their application completion date, from earliest to latest date.
  2. Residency Status: In-district residents receive priority over non-district Wisconsin or Minnesota residents if the application is submitted by:
    • October 1 for programs starting in the summer term.
    • January 1 for programs starting in the fall term.
    • May 1 for programs starting in the spring term.
  3. Applicants residing within the NTC district who apply after the deadlines are then grouped with non-NTC district residents from Wisconsin or Minnesota and are sorted by application completion date.
    • Applications from non-Wisconsin or Minnesota residents are not eligible to be place on program waitlists and re-apply for subsequent terms.
    • Residency is based on your original program application, even if your address changes later.
    • NTC may require documentation to confirm residency.
