Employer Billed Tuition and Fees

Student-to-Student Scholarship Contribution

The Power of Giving Just One Dollar
Last year, the need for student financial aid exceeded the dollars available. If every student gives just $1 to our student-tostudent scholarship program, Wor-Wic will have $10,000 to award to students with financial need. Wor-Wic Community College is a 501(c)(3) organization and contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Add your contribution to the total on your registration form.

How to Buy Your Books

Wor-Wic Community College is aware of the high cost of college textbooks. Our instructors endeavor to select reasonably priced texts that provide currency, relevance, and the most effective presentation of course content. The bookstore will post textbook information on www.worwic.bkstore.com as soon as possible prior to the start of the course. Students are encouraged to purchase textbooks from the college’s bookstore; however, used or new textbooks may also be purchased from other bookstores or online vendors.

Textbooks may be purchased at Wor-Wic’s bookstore, 32000 Campus Drive in Salisbury. Checks for books should be made payable to Wor-Wic’s bookstore. The letter code after “Text Code” in the course information indicates an estimated price range only, not including sales tax:

Regular Hours: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday–8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Tuesday–8:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m., and Friday–8:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Call the bookstore at (410) 543-4655 if you have questions. Opened shrink-wrapped books are not returnable.

Services for Disabled Students

Other Continuing Education Policies and Procedures

• Documents of recognition for attendance and participation are awarded for a majority of non-credit Continuing Education and Workforce Development courses. Specific requirements for the successful completion of each course are announced at the first class session. Tests are not given in most courses; however, certain licensure and certification courses may require testing, evaluation of skills, and the completion of assignments. It is the student’s responsibility to clarify the requirements if there are any questions about the policies.
• All students in Continuing Education and Workforce Development courses must adhere to college policies and procedures. For a copy of the college’s student disciplinary and academic grievance procedures call (410) 334-2815.
• If requests are made by an employer or prospective employer for course-related information, including courses and dates for which you are registered, record of completion, and other similar data, you may refuse to permit the release of some of this information by notifying the Continuing Education and Workforce Development Division no later than the end of the first week of class.
• Current high school students at least 16 years old must submit with their registration form a letter from their high school principal stating that they have permission to attend the college.
