The School Board in which the pupil resides is not responsible for transporting a pupil attending a technical college to or from the technical college that the pupil is attending.

New for the 21-22 School year - Transportation will be provided for students to WCTC to support the DEA program. SCN students may also take advantage of the transportation option as long as their courses occur between 8-noon.

Students should review the "Textbook Information" section of the Elmbrook ECCP/SCN Resource Guide prior to purchasing a textbook.  If a student is required to purchase a textbook (online or hard copy), a request for reimbursement can be submitted.

Students will be notified via email when the School Board has reviewed and approved their course request(s) before March 20th for Fall courses or October 20th for Spring courses.

Courses are not approved because: 

1. We offer a comparable course on the Elmbrook campus. 
2. You may not meet a pre-requisite for the course. For example, a student requested a graduate-level course. 

NEXT STEPS: When you receive School Board approval, follow the steps on the SCN - Steps to take after Board Approval webpage.
