Academic Advising

Academic advising is an integral part of student success at WETCC. All students have opportunities to discuss educational, career and personal goals with counselors and advisors. Advising services include course selection assistance, transfer information and goal setting. All students will be assigned an advisor.

Books

Books for all classes are available for purchase at Waadookoodaading starting at the beginning of the semester. Those students who qualify for financial aid may charge their books to their financial aid with a signed authorization to apply all financial aid to their tuition fees and books. All students who do not qualify or do not apply for financial aid are responsible for the purchase of their own books.

Students who withdraw fully from any or all classes are responsible for the return of their books and will receive a credit on the balance of their invoice. Any students who have already purchased their books may receive a refund within 30 days of the receipt of the books. Refund amounts will first be applied to any outstanding balanced owed to WETCC.

Used books are not returnable.
New books must be in perfect condition to be returned (shrink wrap must be intact, no writing or highlighting in book).
Student must have a drop form from the Registrar´s office.
Business Office

The business office is located in the Wellstone Building at 124 S First Street, Mahnomen. The office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

All tuition and fees are payable in full by the final exam period each semester. All checks should be made payable to White Earth Tribal and Community College. WETCC has established a free drop/add period at the start of each semester. During this period, students may drop any or all classes without obligation. Refer to the Last Day to Add/Drop published in the academic calendar. Students are obligated to pay for all classes remaining after this date. Invoices will be mailed to all students each term as soon as complete.

Students must pay all prior term balances and may not register for subsequent semesters until the debt is satisfied. Students who are not receiving financial aid and are responsible for their own invoice may make payment arrangements with the Business Office. Payment arrangements should be made as soon as possible after the Last Day to Add/Drop. If payment arrangements are not made, the college may use an administrative withdrawal to alleviate liability to the student as well as the college.

Some students may be eligible for tuition waivers. These waivers include: Native American Cultural Waiver for Anishinaabe Language, Art, or Culture classes, Elder Waiver for persons age 55 and over, and Employee Waiver. These waivers are for nondegree students and can only be used for one class per semester.

Students who are regular students who have declared a major and are eligible for financial aid are not eligible for these waivers. Students who receive tuition waivers must pay for their own books each term. Waiver forms must be submitted at the time of registration or preferably before. Approval of a tuition waiver is dependent upon the number of degree students registering for the class and other considerations.

For additional questions regarding the Business Office contact Denise Warren, Finance Officer or George Bass, Finance Assistant at 9365610.

Student Computer Use Policy

Students are asked while using the college facilities and equipment to please use the seven teachings as a guide to what is acceptable and what is not. Following these teachings will build upon the integrity of the college, community and students.

The purpose of this policy is to govern the access to the appropriate use of technology on campus. The intent is to safeguard the image and reputation of the college the use of college computer resources must be able to withstand public scrutiny, while at the same time allowing students to pursue any legitimate educational project or research, regardless of the subject or content, provided it is pursued in a respectful, mature and professional manner. Students affiliated with the college have numerous opportunities to use computer related resources as long as they are college related activities. However, access to computing resources is a privilege and responsibilities accompany that privilege. It is the intention of the college to provide a nonhostile learning environment that minimizes the risk of offending, intimidating, harassing, or otherwise disrespecting other students or employees. A student should never give someone else access to their account by logging them on or giving out your password. Guests may access the Internet in the Mark Warren Library.

All students enrolled in programs and courses offered by the college are eligible for a college network account. Students who abuse their network privileges may have their account revoked.

Students with college laptops or other school equipment need to turn them in at the end of each semester. If they are not returned the student will be charged for the computer or equipment.

Environmental Science

Environmental Science (68 credits)

WETCC exists to meet the educational needs of all people living in and around the White Earth Indian Reservation. This region is the most biologically rich and diverse in all of Minnesota, if not the country. The environmental science program at WETCC was developed to:

  • Expand local interest and expertise in science by offering courses that honor both the Indigenous and Western realities of the people.
  • Prepare students to transfer to baccalaureate programs in the natural sciences.
  • Prepare students for work in natural resource related fields.
  • Provided formal training for Tribal natural resource professionals.

Environmental Science (ES) is multidisciplinary in nature and, therefore, is an excellent introduction to any of the natural sciences for those going on to higher degrees. It is the science that best addresses one of the fundamental challenges facing the people of White Earth, managing the vast and unique natural environment we are blessed with. Environmental Science is the most appropriate science for addressing the mission of WETCC in that it is the Western scientific discipline that is most parallel with what has been characterized as Native Science. Native Science, a term coined by Gregory Cajete, a Tewa Pueblo and professor of education in New Mexico, is an approach to science and science education that grew out of the Native American culture and experience. It includes the holistic, spiritually based knowledge of place shared by indigenous peoples everywhere.

The tenets of Native Science have already been incorporated into all science courses currently offered at WETCC. This approach will continue in the courses outlined in the curriculum. An additional Native component of the curriculum is entitled the Traditional Practitioners Curriculum (TPC). This portion of the ES curriculum will be developed and presented by local individuals with knowledge of the traditional natural resource management practices of the Anishinaabe. ES courses at WETCC will serve as a venue for interested individuals to pass on their knowledge and wisdom in the manner they deem most appropriate.

WETCC offers the full range of requirements for the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum and has transfer agreements with Minnesota State University, Moorhead, Bemidji State University, and Northland Community College, and Northwest Technical College in Detroit Lakes. The college has a fully equipped laboratory and a wide array of field gear for camping gear and scientific study including laptop computers, digital camera, GPS units, and other state of the art equipment. Our library has extensive holdings in the sciences including print, online, and multimedia materials. Class sizes are small allowing for individualized instruction and lots of contact with instructors.

Course requirements may vary, depending on the four–year transfer school you select. It is important to consult with an advisor at WETCC as well as at the institution you plan to attend. Please refer to the course requirements as noted previously in order to meet Minnesota Transfer Requirements.
