POLICIES AND STANDARDS High School Transcripted Credit Policy To standardize consistency and quality in delivery of transcripted credit courses with Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) the following policy has been established. Transcripted Credit Is Defined As: NWTC course curriculum taught at a high school by a high school teacher or technical college instructor certified by NWTC in accordance with technical college system standards. Any qualified and approved transcripted credit course for NWTC credit is subject to the following conditions and limitations: • A transcripted credit course, taught at the high school, will be an exact match of the NWTC program course including course title, course competencies, contact hours, standards and assessments. Transcripted credit courses must use the same or an NWTC approved final assessment/assignment. • The same textbook/s must be used for the high school transcripted credit course as is used in the NWTC class, or an acceptable, agreed- upon equivalent as designated in the articulation agreement. • The transcripted credit course will be reviewed annually by designated NWTC staff to insure the required course content identified above meets the standards. An annual Spring Summit will be scheduled as a curriculum sharing event between NWTC and K-12 faculty, with an expectation that all transcripted credit instructors attend. Exceptions to these expectations may be made at the discretion of the appropriate academic department. Other curriculum sharing meetings can be facilitated with assistance of NWTC K-12 Relations, with the high school instructor completing documentation to demonstrate compliance. • NWTC reserves the right to cancel any transcripted credit agreements if there is a concern related to non-compliance with high school transcripted credit (non-participation in professional development/curriculum sharing, failure to maintain course alignment, utilization of inappropriate resources, etc.). • Equipment and facilities at the high school must be approved by NWTC. • The NWTC course offered at the high school is offered under a 38.14 contract, with no cost or billing associated with NWTC course tuition. 25
