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.
Templates
A syllabus template associated with the
area you teach will be provided at the
Spring Summit. The template contains
• NWTC Policies and Resources
• Class Outcomes (Competencies
and Employability Skills)
• Class grading requirements
• Class resources, if needed
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.
• Health Sciences – [email protected] 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.
