Continued Connection
with NWTC Faculty & Staff
NWTC faculty begin and/or enhance their
connection with high school transcripted credit
instructors through the NWTC/K-12 Spring
Summit. This mentorship relationship continues
throughout the entire academic year. High school
instructors are provided mechanisms to contact
their NWTC faculty with inquiries on curriculum,
course delivery, resources, NWTC programming, etc.
NWTC recognizes our K-12 Relations as a signifi cant
strategic direction of the college and encourages
this continued relationship building. High school
instructors are encouraged to reach out to faculty
when there are questions or concerns. K-12
Relations manager and staff are also a resource
when needed.
Institutional monitoring,
oversight and transparency
Proper monitoring and oversight of transcripted
credit is provided by academic departments,
NWTC Recruitment and Academic Advising teams
and K-12 Relations team. This oversight ensures
that coursework meets higher education standards
and that students understand the potential use of
their earned credits.

Students are also able to take technical college transcripts to a four year

themselves with their college advisor, Registrar, and/or Records staff .
Please use the UW System Course transfer wizard as a
preliminary tool in researching course transferability:

A follow up conversation with the receiving institution on the use of the
transfer credit for the major of study is also recommended. It is always
up to the receiving institution how they will accept transfer credits.
