A substantial portion of the operating costs of Wisconsin Lutheran College is provided by contributions of individuals, alumni, Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod congregations, and friends of the college. The remaining portion is paid by students from personal resources, scholarships, grants, and loans.
Students whose fees are paid in whole or in part by agencies other than the College (Veterans Administration, scholarships, grants, etc.) must notify the Financial Aid Office of their sponsored support at time of registration before arriving on campus so that the student can complete financial arrangements at that time. All remaining balances not covered by financial aid must be paid prior to arriving on campus or paid through an approved payment plan.
Late Charges: Late charges, consistent with state law, are assessed on overdue accounts.
Course fees become an obligation to the college upon registration. Continuing students are expected to have all financial obligations paid in full BEFORE registering for future terms. Registration is cancelled for all students with outstanding balances from previous semesters. Transcripts are not released for any graduating or withdrawing students having any outstanding account balance.
Tuition and Textbooks
Tuition is used to help defray the instructional and operating costs of the college. At entry into the ADC program, the tuition rate for each cohort is established for the major, inclusive of textbooks and electronic course materials. That per credit rate is then applied to elective courses; however, textbooks and course materials are additional expenses for those courses.
AGS provides textbooks and other necessary related supplements to students in the ADC program major courses only as part of the tuition costs of the program. Please take care of these textbooks, etc., and keep them in good condition. The AGS office coordinates the distribution and collection of these textbooks. Specific details of these processes are communicated to the students. Many of the books and materials are in e-format and therefore, uploaded directly in the learning management system/course.
Hard copy books must be returned to AGS within two weeks of the completion of the course. If, after two weeks, books are not returned or are returned in unusable condition, student accounts are charged a minimum of $25 up to the cost of replacement for each textbook or supplemental material.
NOTE: Students are responsible to obtain textbooks, etc., for general education and elective courses.
Parking
Limited parking is available on campus during the day; however, students enrolled in AGS programs may be assigned specific areas for parking pending availability after 3 pm for evening courses. That fee is included in the program tuition costs.
Graduation
A one-time graduation fee of $75.00 is charged on all accounts of ALL students scheduled to graduate, regardless of whether or not they plan to participate in the commencement ceremony. This charge appears on their student tuition account upon submission of an application for degree. This fee covers the cost of the cap and gown (announcements sold separately), diploma cover and printing expenses, a transcript, ceremony expenses, etc.
Institutional Refund Policy
WLC’s refund policy applies to a student who withdraws from school or is terminated at a given point in time during the term. Students who feel that individual circumstances warrant exception to this policy may appeal by contacting the Dean of Adult & Graduate Studies. The refund process begins with completion of a student withdrawal form with the Academic Advisor and approved by the Dean of Adult & Graduate Studies.
All refunds include tuition as applicable. Detailed rules and examples of refund calculations, as defined by federal statute, are available on request from the financial aid office.
*In cases where a student has received federal financial aid or loans, WLC is required to follow the Federal “Return of Title IV Funds” Policy.
