WAUSAU – Northcentral Technical College (NTC) will waive application fees for anyone who applies to the college for the fall 2020 semester. Due to the generosity of the NTC Foundation, application will be free for new students.

“We know that college-bound students are presented with unique obstacles while weighing their college options this fall,” said Shannon Livingston, NTC dean of student success. “Our commitment to support student success has never been stronger, which is why we made the decision to waive application fees to help students get started locally.”

Students will have the opportunity to select from a full menu of academic offerings, including in person classes, Virtual College courses that offer the highest level of flexibility with self-paced lectures and assignments and hybrid courses offered through Zoom that provide more structured learning with set lecture times and deadlines.

Prospective students can meet with admissions staff by phone appointment, Zoom or in-person following socially distant guidelines. Walk-in appointments are also welcome at NTC’s Wausau campus. Visitors can expect to follow the same COVID-19 safety procedures that all staff follow including: a brief survey, contactless temperature scan, and masking upon entry.
