Frequently Asked Questions
NWTC Transcribed Credit( CONTINUED)
6. When do I send in my students’ grades? When you have your student’ s FINAL grade for the class, enter it directly into the Blackboard shell within 72 hours. You are required to enter FINAL student grades into your Blackboard shell in the PSGRADE column for the course.
7. What happens if students are enrolled and then drop? When you enter your FINAL grades into Blackboard, enter a“ W” for students who have withdrawn or dropped a transcribed credit course. When NWTC queries the FINAL grades for the transcribed credit classes, credit will not be issued to students who are identified as withdrawn / dropped“ W”. Students earning anything less than a“ C” will notice an audit grade of“ AU” listed.

12. What if you need help with Blackboard? Blackboard Learn is the NWTC Learning Management System. NWTC transcribed credit courses are set up with a MASTER TEMPLATE which includes learning plans, assessments, discussion boards, assignments, journal and other exercises to engage the learner in meeting course competencies. This shell is a tool to ensure rigor is met and that students transition seamlessly to the next level coursework. High School instructors are invited to participate in Blackboard Learn Professional Development. Please register at this site: https:// www. nwtc. edu / programs / k-12- offerings / k12-educators / blackboard-training.
Blackboard shells are automatically created when a class is generated in the NWTC PeopleSoft system. A Transcribed Credit Instructor will see their Blackboard shell when they are assigned to the class.
