For a WCU student, for a course to be part of you WCU billing, the course must be approved as course share by the teaching institution and be published on the approved list for the term you are taking the course.
If a course is not on the approved course share list, the student will pay the teaching institution and that bill will be separate from any other tuition bill for that semester from their home institution.
