Would you apply to a technical college if the application fee were waived?
West Georgia Technical College is offering Free Application Month throughout November 2026 for spring 2027 applicants. Students who apply by November 30 and enter code NOVFREE27 can have the $25 application fee waived.
Why it matters
The fee waiver lowers the cost of entering the spring 2027 term for prospective students across the college's service area in Georgia. The priority application deadline of December 28 means applicants who act during November also stay ahead of the schedule.
The college offers more than 120 associate degree, diploma, and technical certificate programs across five counties, and the waiver code NOVFREE27 must be entered in capital letters. The source does not report how many students have already used the waiver.

The fee waiver is a single campus's recruitment step within that network's competition for spring enrollment.
Prospective students in Georgia who apply by November 30 avoid the $25 application fee, which is a direct saving for those planning to enroll in spring 2027. Applicants who miss the November window still face the December 28 priority deadline and the January 13 final acceptance date.
The takeaway
Applying by November 30 with code NOVFREE27 removes the $25 fee and secures an early spot before the December 28 priority deadline. Students planning for spring 2027 should start their applications in November.
