ADVANCED

STANDING ( AS )

Advanced Standing courses are taught by high school teachers using high school curriculum determined to be a close match to an NWTC course . A student must earn a “ B ” or better to receive advanced standing status .
Advanced Standing courses are not captured on the NWTC transcript until you become an NWTC student . Your high school should note Advanced Standing coursework on your high school transcript . Students completing Advanced Standing classes with a “ B ” or better receive credit for prior learning IF they are accepted as a program student at NWTC or another Wisconsin technical college and are enrolled in coursework where they can claim the Advanced Standing . In this way , Advanced Standing courses may earn a student the opportunity to skip an introductory level course in their technical college program and advance to the next level .
Did you take a college course in high school that is not appearing on your NWTC transcript ? If you answered Yes , then there is a good chance that the course is Advanced Standing . Please work with NWTC Admissions to share your course completion as evidenced on your high school transcript . Remember the criteria of a “ B ” grade , enrollment in a WTCS Program and coursework to claim Advanced Standing .
Successfully completed Advanced Standing courses may transfer to colleges within the Wisconsin Technical College System .
