or other states pay additional tuition–see the
registration form. Additional fees are also indicated for certain courses; they
cover various costs such as materials, lab fees, insurance, etc. Tuition and fees must be paid at the time of registration. The
college reserves the right to cancel courses, make changes in any course due to unforeseen circumstances, and change tuition
rates without prior notice. The college is not responsible for typographical errors.
Payment Information
Tuition rates for Wicomico County residents are higher than rates for Worcester
and Somerset residents due to a deficit in the Wicomico County funding appropriation.

cost. The tuition for Worcester and Somerset County residents is shown as “Wor/Som.”
Residents of other Maryland counties pay the “Wic” rate plus $10 and residents of
other states pay the “Wic” rate, plus $15. Additional fees are also indicated for

Deferred Payment: a payment plan is available for certain courses
for a $20 deferment fee when the tuition is more than $100. Not available for all
courses. Call (410) 334-2815 for more information.
If you are a Maryland resident who is 60 years of age or older at the time of registration
and who enrolls in any continuing education course that has at least 10 regularly-enrolled
students or is being continued with less than 10 students, you do not have to pay
tuition for regular open enrollment courses. Pay $6 (write "SR-$6" in the tuition
box) for the registration fee per course plus other fees where indicated in the
course information. Out-of-county fees are not applicable for Maryland seniors.
Out-of-state (non-Maryland) senior residents
1. For non- "seniors only" open enrollment
courses, pay the $15 out-of-state fee, which should be added to the course tuition
plus any other fees, where indicated.
2. For "seniors only" courses, call (410)
334-2815 for the tuition cost; pay the tuition plus any other course fees.
Tuition, not including fees, for workforce development courses is waived for Maryland
residents who are disabled as defined by the Social Security or Railroad Retirement
Act. Students must complete a waiver application, which is valid for one year. Tuition
waiver forms are available in the counseling office.
Employer Billed Tuition and Fees
Advance payments by company check are welcomed from employers who pay for their
employees' tuition and fees at the time of registration. The college can also directly
bill a company. Mail or fax to (410) 334-2952 the completed registration form with
a purchase order or letter of authorization on company letterhead. Include the employee's
name, course number and title, total amount for tuition and fees, billing address
and signature of the person authorizing payment. The college does not bill in order
to reimburse students who have paid their own tuition. Upon receipt of the authorization
and registration form(s), the regular refund/withdrawal policy applies and the invoice
will reflect the prorated balance due when appropriate.
Refund/Withdrawal Policy
All requests for refunds must be received in writing in our office prior to the
first day of class. A 100% refund will be issued up to the day before the course
start date. If a course is filled or canceled, a full refund will be sent by mail

No refund will be given on or after the course start date.
Course Confirmation
You are automatically registered when the college receives your registration form
and payment unless the course is already filled. You will not receive written confirmation
so please attend your course at its scheduled time.

Safety and Security
The college strives to provide students and employees with a learning and working
environment that is safe and secure, free from substance abuse, sex offenses and
other crimes. Policies and procedures are developed to meet this goal and to comply
with federal, state and local laws that govern the conduct of students and employees
at college facilities or at college-sponsored events. An annual security report
is available to all current and prospective students and employees on the college’s
website at www.worwic.edu/AnnSecRpt.pdf or a copy can be obtained by contacting
the plant management office at (410) 334-2932. This report contains policies and
procedures regarding campus security, alcohol and drug use, safety and crime prevention
tips, crime reporting procedures and crime statistics.
Services for Disabled Students
Wor-Wic provides reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities in compliance
with the Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Students requesting these services must submit medical and/or educational documentation
to the Director of Counseling at least four weeks before the start of session so
that eligibility can be determined and the appropriate accommodations can be made.
Smoking & Tobacco Use Policy
Smoking and the use of tobacco products are permitted on campus only in designated
tobacco use or parking lot areas that are at least 25 feet from any building. Smoking
and the use of tobacco products are not permitted in the lot in front of the Academic
and Administrative Building (AAB). A copy of the entire smoking/tobacco use policy
can be obtained at the college information desk.
Cancellation Announcements
Cancellation announcements are made on most local radio and television stations.
Announcements are made by 8:00 a.m. for day classes and 5:00 p.m. for night classes.
Wor-Wic also uses e2Campus, a Web-based universal notification system, to send college
closing announcements and security alerts to individuals who sign up for this free
service. Go to www.worwic.edu/e2campus to sign up. If your Wor-Wic continuing education
and workforce development course is scheduled in a public school and that school
is closed because of bad weather, your course will not meet. If your course is held
at an off-campus location other than a public school, please listen to the radio
or check www.worwic.edu for information about cancellation. For courses at Worcester
senior centers, call (410) 632-1277 after 6:30 a.m. for information regarding possible
closings. When classes are not canceled, students are responsible for making their
own decisions based on their judgment of local road conditions.
