TRANSCRIPTED CREDIT
Frequently Asked Questions
1 . When does the Qualification Process take place for transcripted credit instructors ?
The qualification process takes place at the time you are considering teaching a transcripted credit course ; preferably before the annual Spring Summit . To start qualification , go to our NWTC . edu webpage and search for Transcripted Credit . Click on Requirements for Teaching Transcripted Credit . Read and complete tasks required . Then complete the Qualification Application and send a copy of your unofficial graduate and undergraduate transcripts , as well as your DPI licensures to wendy . challis @ nwtc . edu . You only need to do this one time initially , but we will need to qualify you for each course that you teach . Also , if you have gained additional education / credentials since your initial qualification , please forward this to wendy . challis @ nwtc . edu .
2 . What other requirements are expected of a transcripted credit instructor ?
You are obligated to teach all NWTC competencies of the course and utilize the same grading criteria . Your attendance at the Spring Summit and work with the NWTC faculty mentor is mandatory . Some coursework will require additional training such as a course enrollment or summer Train the Trainer . NWTC mentors will review the syllabi requirement , curriculum , resources , and any other training expectations for you to duplicate the NWTC course at your high school . You will also need to utilize the same resources , including textbooks and lab assessment approval , to deliver the course competencies . Please review the Transcripted Credit Policy for more information .
3 . What if my school runs on a semester , yearlong , trimester or block schedule ? Does that change the enrollment process ?
Students enrollment information and class start and end dates must be submitted at least two weeks before the start of the class or sooner . This allows students and instructors to fully access and utilize NWTC resources such as Blackboard . We realize rosters may change throughout the process . Grades are expected to be submitted in the blackboard shell within 72 hours of class completion .
4 . Why are start / end dates so important ?
We ask you to provide accurate start and end dates for your transcripted credit courses to assist us in keeping accurate records for grading purposes and and allow Blackboard access in a timely manner . NWTC will create one class per subject per teacher no matter how many sections or periods the teacher is teaching . In doing this , the teacher has one blackboard shell with all transcripted credit students within it .
5 . What is the best way to send enrollment information ? To whom should it be sent ?
We moved all transcripted credit student enrollment to an automated process . Please see page _ for more details .
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 transcripted credit course . When NWTC queries the FINAL grades for the transcripted credit classes , credit will not be issued to students who are identified as withdrawn / dropped “ W ”. Withdrawal grades are reserved for students with a schedule change or those that have moved school / district enrollments .
8 . How can high school students request an NWTC transcript ?
Once students successfully complete their transcripted credit course and grades have been posted to their NWTC account students can request an official or unofficial transcript at the following link : https :// www . nwtc . edu / admissions / student-records / transcript-request or students can call Enrollment Services 920-498-5444 at NWTC for assistance . Please make sure students check their mynwtc account for final grades posted before ordering official transcripts .
