Accommodations for Students
with Disabilities in Dual Credit Courses
Students who receive high school accommodations/
modifications may also receive accommodations
for dual credit courses while taking NWTC
courses. The school district is required to provide
the accommodations outlined in the student’s
IEP, while NWTC Accommodation Services staff
determines the type, level and duration of the
accommodation.
Students requesting accommodations for
their dual credit course should reach out to
the Accommodation Services via email at
[email protected] or call to
make an appointment at 920-498-6904
Once notified of a need for accommodations,
Accommodation Case Managers will work directly
with the identified Special Education instructor
and student to ensure that the student’s
accommodations, consistent with their IEP, are
being met. For questions please contact the NWTC
team at the email and number listed above.
