Sharing Transcripted Credit between Districts
NWTC allows and recommends that high school
districts collaborate to share transcripted credit
off erings when appropriate, however;
1.
Schools must have permission from the NWTC
K-12 Relations staff prior to listing the course in
the course catalogs/online listings.
2. High school instructors must inform the NWTC
K-12 Relations staff which high schools will
be receiving the course and include these
students on the enrollment and grading course
workbooks/rosters.
3. The NWTC Transcribed Credit policy must
be met.
4. School districts need to collaborate to address
any instructor overloads through use of Special
Services agreements, and/or other related
programming.
Off ering NWTC Transcripted Credit
Courses via Distance Education
Networks
Because transcripted courses are cost neutral
agreements, NWTC does not allow high schools
to off er transcripted credit courses over distance
education networks (see policy). Distance
education networks often exchange funds between
the school district delivering and receiving the
course off ering, which negates the cost neutrality
of the agreement.
NWTC continues to off er coursework through
Distance Learning Networks statewide. Through
use of technology, schools have the capability
to receive NWTC credit coursework that may not
normally be available at their school. These course
are taught by NWTC Faculty and the off erings are
run through Start College Now Programming.
Questions regarding Distance Learning networks
should be directed to NWTC’s Distance Learning
Scheduler at video. [email protected]

Area high school students earn NWTC program
credits by taking NWTC courses taught by their

courses are recorded on the students NWTC

full credit value.
High school instructors are trained by NWTC
