SHARING TRANSCRIPTED CREDIT 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.
Questions regarding Distance Learning courses
should be directed to NWTC’s Distance Learning
