WE ARE
YOUR COLLEGE
FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS
Thank you for partnering with NWTC to provide early
college opportunities for your students.
Together, by offering dual credit classes, we are helping high school students
jumpstart their college careers and save money on their future degrees.
Your students have several dual credit options, including transcripted
credit, Advanced Standing, Start College Now, and Youth Apprenticeship.
This booklet focuses primarily on transcripted credit — college
level courses using NWTC curriculum. In this guide, you’ll
find all the information and resources you need to offer and
teach transcripted credit classes in your high schools.
