FOR STUDENTS WHOSE COMPANY IS PAYING FOR THEIR COURSE:

I understand in the case where the College has an agreement with my employer covering my specific participation in this New Economy Workforce Credential Grant Program (WCG) course, I will not be responsible for the additional 1/3 of the total course cost should I not successfully complete the course by earning an “S” grade within thirty (30) days of the course end date. I acknowledge and understand that I may owe my employer the additional 1/3 of the total course cost under a separate agreement or other arrangement, if I do not successfully complete the course. I further acknowledge and understand that the College will bill my employer the additional 1/3 of the total cost if I do not successfully complete the course by earning an “S” grade within thirty (30) days of the course end date. Accordingly, I hereby consent to the disclosure of my final grade to my employer if it is necessary for the College to receive the final 1/3 of the total course cost or for any other legitimate educational reason related to the WCG course.

FOR ALL STUDENTS:

(1) I understand the purpose of the WCG is to financially assist me to gain the knowledge AND the applicable industry recognized credential or licensure. Therefore, I agree to seek the applicable credential or licensure associated with my program whether it is incorporated into the program cost or requires me to obtain the credential or licensure at an additional cost. I also agree to provide proof of my satisfactory completion of that credential or licensure to the College. (2) I understand that my social security number is required in order to maintain enrollment in this class. My social security number is being collected in accordance with federal and state law, and to claim the tax refund and other applicable state refunds and payments in cases where I must pay the College; for debtor information and skip‐tracing; and to track and report the number of students who attain noncredit workforce credentials and other outcomes under this WCG. (3) I am 18 years or older. If I am under 18 years old, a parent or legal guardian has completed this agreement on my behalf. (4) By reading and responding to the following questions, I will agree to the above terms and conditions of this agreement.
