Northern Wyoming Community College District - Student Financial Responsibility Agreement
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR REGISTRATION
By enrolling in classes at Northern Wyoming Community College District (NWCCD), a student makes a financial commitment to pay the tuition and fee charges associated with that enrollment.
The following terms and conditions are financial requirements of each student’s education related to their registration for a term at NWCC. The payment of tuition and fees is the obligation of the student. By processing a course registration, either via the Web or by submitting a Registration Form to the Records Office, a student acknowledges they have read and agree to the following terms and conditions:
- Registering constitutes a financial agreement between you (“Student”) and the Northern Wyoming Community College District (“District”). Tuition, fees and other charges you incur, including but not limited to housing, meal plans, bookstore charges, or fine/fees (“Charges”), shall be added to your student account and are considered a loan for educational benefit.
- Once you formally register for classes, you assume the responsibility for reviewing, understanding, and abiding by NWCCD policies, procedures, requirements, and deadlines as described in all official NWCCD publications. The publications include, but are not limited to, NWCCD Policies and Procedures, NWCCD Course Catalog and class schedules, student handbook, and academic calendars. Publications, policies and deadlines can be found on the NWCCD website at www.sheridan.edu.
- All Charges are due at the time of registration.
- The District accepts payments via third party sponsorship, but the responsibility for payment remains with you. It is your responsibility to keep track of your account balance and any funding sources. If third party sponsors do not pay within a reasonable period, you will be required to pay the full amount due.
- Refund and Cancellation information is available below.
- The District reserves the right to place a hold on student accounts and withhold future services (registration, transcript request, diploma, etc.) to students who have any outstanding balances with the District.
- The District will pursue all collection efforts and practices in collecting any unpaid balance. These practices include placing phone calls, mailing/emailing statements and collection letters, referring your account to a collection agency, having your debt reported to credit reporting agencies, and referring balance to an attorney to pursue the balance via litigation. If your account is referred to an outside collection agency your account may be assessed additional fees up to 53.85% of your account balance. These fees are associated with the collection of the debt including but not limited to collection agency fees, attorney’s fees, court costs and all other charges allowed by law.
- Educational and related fees are generally non-dischargeable in bankruptcy and will survive after the bankruptcy has closed. Except in certain limited situations, this means that a student will still owe the debt to the District after the bankruptcy.
- It is your responsibility to check your @sheridan.edu email account regularly and maintain a current postal address with the Records Office to ensure receipt of all District correspondence.
- In addition, you agree to allow NWCCD, its affiliates, agents, and service providers to use written, electronic, or verbal means to contact you as the law allows regarding your obligation to repay your debt to NWCCD. You may be contacted by manual calling methods, prerecorded or artificial voice messages, automated telephone dialing systems, emails, and/or text messages at any telephone number or email address associated with your student account, currently or in the future, including wireless telephone numbers. You understand that others may be able to review the messages and/or emails related to your debts sent to or from NWCCD, including their contents, which may include information about the debt and its status. You further authorize telephone calls to be recorded for assurance of quality, and/or other reasons.
