POLICIES AND S
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.
