TRANSCRIPTED CREDIT
Syllabus , Academic Integrity and Grading
As a stated in the Transcripted Credit policy , high school instructors are required to meet the same face-to-face instructional time as our NWTC faculty . This means that transcripted credit courses are meant to be delivered in person / traditional lecture format . Please consult with NWTC faculty and / or syllabus to reference the required face to face time for each transcripted course . Based upon the above , we cannot allow transcripted credit courses to be set up as independent study in the high school setting .
Syllabus Development and Requirements
NWTC instructors , including transcripted credit are required to create and distribute a class syllabus to students . The syllabus serves two purposes :
• Align transcripted credit classes with the same expectations of NWTC classes . The use of the syllabus creates a college atmosphere and communicates clear expectations for an NWTC college class .
• Align transcripted classes with the same requirements of NWTC courses , ensuring the same course outcomes are instructed across all offerings . This alignment ensures consistency of instruction and enhances quality of dual credit programming .
Name your syllabus document using the naming conventions provided to you by the department .
• General Studies – generalstudies @ nwtc . edu
• College of Business – collegeofbusiness @ nwtc . edu

Templates
A syllabus template associated with the area you teach will be provided at the Spring Summit . The template contains
• NWTC Policies and Resources

These are the minimum required elements for your class syllabus . Certain portions of the text must remain the same in your syllabus as these elements apply to all NWTC students , including high school students taking NWTC transcripted courses .
You can add additional elements as it relates to your classroom . Do not remove required elements from the template , unless it specifies you can directly in the template .
