TRANSCRIPTED CREDIT
Frequently Asked Questions
4 . Why are start / end dates so important ?
We ask you to provide accurate start and end dates for your transcripted credit courses to assist us in keeping accurate records for grading purposes and and allow Blackboard access in a timely manner . NWTC will create one class per subject per teacher no matter how many sections or periods the teacher is teaching . In doing this , the teacher has one blackboard shell with all transcripted credit students within it .
5 . What is the best way to send enrollment information ? To whom should it be sent ?
We moved all transcripted credit student enrollment to an automated process . Please see page 23 for more details .
6 . When do I send in my students ’ grades ?
When you have your student ’ s FINAL grade for the class , enter it directly into the Blackboard shell within 72 hours . You are required to enter FINAL student grades into your Blackboard shell in the PSGRADE column for the course .
7 . What happens if students are enrolled and then drop ?
When you enter your FINAL grades into Blackboard , enter a “ W ” for students who have withdrawn or dropped a transcripted credit course . When NWTC queries the FINAL grades for the transcripted credit classes , credit will not be issued to students who are identified as withdrawn / dropped “ W ”. Withdrawal grades are reserved for students with a schedule change or those that have moved school / district enrollments .
