FACULTY CREDENTIALS
QUALIFICATIONS, ORIENTATION AND TRAINING (CONTINUED)
LOGISTICS AND DEADLINES WITH INITIATING TRANSCRIPTED CREDIT AGREEMENTS
Transcripted agreements will be posted by the school district on the NWTC website:
www.nwtc.edu/programs/k-12-offerings/high-school-credit-transfer.
Final agreements and policy for the current academic year are sent to school districts in May with
request for signature. This allows a true capture of courses offered and agreements in place for the year,
eliminating any canceled courses due to low enrollment or other mitigating circumstances. This information
remains on file with NWTC and the WTCS (Wisconsin Technical College System). Please visit this site to see
any historical dual credit agreements:

TRANSCRIBED CREDIT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. When does the Qualification Process take place
for transcribed credit instructors?
The qualification process takes place at the time you
are considering teaching a transcribed credit course;
preferably before the annual Spring Summit. To start
qualification, go to our NWTC.edu webpage and
search for Transcribed Credit. Click on Requirements
for Teaching Transcribed Credit. Read and complete
tasks required. Then complete the Qualification
Application and send a copy of your unofficial graduate
and undergraduate transcripts, as well as your DPI
licensures to [email protected]. You only need to
do this one time initially, but we will need to qualify you
for each course that you teach. Also, if you have gained
additional education/credentials since your initial
qualification, please forward this to
[email protected].
2. What other requirements are expected of a
transcribed credit instructor?
You are obligated to teach all NWTC competencies
of the course and utilize the same grading criteria.
Your attendance at the Spring Summit and work
with the NWTC faculty mentor is mandatory. Some
coursework will require additional training such as a
course enrollment or summer Train the Trainer. NWTC
mentors will review the syllabi requirement, curriculum,
resources, and any other training expectations for you
to duplicate the NWTC course at your high school. You
will also need to utilize the same resources, including
textbooks and lab assessment approval, to deliver the
course competencies. Please review the Transcribed
Credit Policy for more information.

3. What if my school runs on a semester, yearlong,
trimester or block schedule? Does that change the
enrollment process?
Students enrollment information and class start and
end dates must be submitted at least two weeks before
the start of the class or sooner. This allows students
and instructors to fully access and utilize NWTC
resources such as Blackboard. We realize rosters may
change throughout the process. Grades are expected
to be submitted in the blackboard shell within 72 hours
of class completion.
4. Why are start/end dates so important?
We ask you to provide accurate start and end dates for
your transcribed 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
transcribed credit students within it.
5. What is the best way to send enrollment
information? To whom should it be sent?
Please submit your system generated transcribed
credit student rosters to [email protected].
We no longer accept excel spreadsheet rosters and/
or hand-written enrollments. The roster report must
provide the students—legal name including middle
initial, date of birth, full address, phone number, school
email address, grade level, gender, class title, teacher’s
full name, high school name, and ONLY eligible
transcribed credit students. Some districts may be
involved in pilot enrollment automation processes. If so,
your process for enrollment will be altered.
