POLICIES AND STANDARDS
Sharing Offerings Between Districts
NWTC allows and recommends that high school districts collaborate to share transcripted credit offerings 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 .
Offering NWTC Transcripted Credit Courses via Distance Education Networks
Because transcripted courses are cost neutral agreements , NWTC does not allow high schools to offer transcripted credit courses over distance education networks ( see policy ). Distance education networks often exchange funds between the school district delivering and receiving the course offering , which negates the cost neutrality of the agreement .
NWTC continues to offer coursework through Distance Learning 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 offerings are run through the Start College Now Programming .
