Company & Organization Registration and Payment Process (Sponsor Billing)

All companies and organizations are required to utilize the Sponsor Billing process to ease the payment process for your employees/students for Workforce Continuing Education classes at Wayne Community College. The process is simple. You will not need to send a company/organization check/credit card with your employee at the time of registration. All you have to submit is a signed company/organization letter or memorandum on letterhead with the following key items:

1. Company/Organization point of contact information (in the event there are any questions regarding a student or payment)
2. State the intent of who and what class(es) your company/organization will be responsible for in the registration process (i.e. tuition,
   parking/ID, testing, books, etc.)

Once we have received the letter/memorandum and student(s) registration(s), our Business Office will submit an invoice to your company/organization. The letter/memorandum must be received on or before the class start date. Accompanying this memorandum you will find, examples of a Sponsor Billing notification. Also, you may access our latest registration form online. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the process, please contact:

Enrollment Requirements

WCC maintains an open-door admission policy to all applicants who are high school graduates or who are at least 18 years of age. Student admission processing and placement determination shall be performed by the officials

of each college. Admission requirements for an emancipated minor shall be the same as for an applicant 18 years old or older. Provisions with respect to admission of minors are set forth in 1D SBCCC 200.95, in accordance with Community College Laws of North Carolina.

WCC’s Board of Trustees may adopt policies regulating admission and graduation of students enrolled in courses mandated under G.S. 17C, North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission, or G.S. 17E, North Carolina Sheriffs’ Education and Training Standards Commission. These policies may limit enrollment to law enforcement officers or persons sponsored by law enforcement agencies and may require a student to maintain sponsorship by a law enforcement agency until completion of the program. Policies adopted pursuant to this paragraph shall be published and made available to students and prospective students.

A minor, 16 years old or older, may be considered a student with special needs and may be admitted to an appropriate program at a college if the local public or private educational agency determines that admission to the program is the best educational option for the students and the admission of such student to the program is approved by the college.

A high school student, 16 years old or older, based upon policies approved by the local, public, or private Board of Education and Board of Trustees, may be admitted to appropriate courses, except adult high school, concurrently under the following conditions:

a.  Upon recommendation of the chief administrative school officer and approval of the president of the college;

b.  Upon approval of the student’s program by the principal of the school and the president of the college;

c.  Upon certification by the principal that the student is taking at least three high school courses and is making appropriate progress toward graduation.

High school students taking courses pursuant to the above paragraphs shall not displace adults but may be admitted any semester on a space-available basis to any continuing education course. Once admitted, they shall be treated the same as all other students. Reference 1D SBCCC 200.95 from Community College Laws of N.C.

Course Fees

Registration fees from $70 to $180 are charged to students in occupational extension classes depending upon the total class hours.  The Leisure and Recreational classes have a registration fee of $35 to $50.  The amount of tuition for recreational classes is determined by the pro-rated cost per student it takes to conduct the course in accordance with legislation.

NOTE: Charges are subject to change based on state budget.  Students are expected to purchase supplies, materials, tools, and books required for the class.

Refund Policy for Continuing Education Services

The refund policy for Continuing Education courses, as established by the N.C. State General Assembly, allows a 75 percent refund, prior to or on the 10 percent point of the scheduled hours of the class. A 100 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws prior to the first day of class of the academic semester or term. Also, a student is eligible for a 100 percent refund if the class in which the student is officially registered is cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. Under this policy, the college shall notify the student of the right to receive a refund at the time of official withdrawal.  NOTE:  Course refunds can take approximately 4 to 6 weeks to be processed/received. There are no refunds for self-supporting classes.  Under this policy, the college shall notify the student of the right to receive a refund at the time of official withdrawal.

This fee also supports Continuing Education computer classes held off campus at various locations.  If you have any questions concerning the Computer Technology Fee, please contact the Continuing Education Services Division at 919-739-6900. *Fee subject to change.
