To be eligible to earn credit for prior learning, a student must be officially enrolled in an NWTC degree,
diploma, or certificate program. In addition, students need to take a minimum of 25 percent of their core
course requirements through NWTC.
Credit for prior learning may be earned through the following ways:
Transfer of Credit. If students transfer from other institutions of higher education, they must send an
official transcript to NWTC for evaluation by Enrollment Services. Course work will be transferred based
upon equivalent competencies with a satisfactory grade (grade of C based on a 2.0 GPA).
Credit for Military Training and Experience. Based upon the program choice, student degree
completion analysis, and years of military service, a Service Member/Veteran will be awarded up to 10
credits of general education coursework as outlined below:
For one year of service:
•
College 101 (10-890-101)
•
Oral/Interpersonal Communication (10-801-196)
For three years of service:
• Contemporary American Society (10-809-197)
• Intro to Ethics: Theory and Application (10-809-166)
Credit by Work or Life Experience. Students may be granted credit for previous work, life, and military
experiences that are comparable in content and level with specific NWTC courses through a portfolio or
demonstration assessment. Students will be charged a $90 assessment fee per course.
Credit by Exam. Students may also earn college credit through NWTC credit by exams which are
developed by NWTC faculty members and cover course competencies. Students will be charged a $50
assessment fee per course.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
NWTC values the inherent worth of each person at the College; students, staff and faculty. The College
acknowledges the many similarities are shared with one another yet some have their own unique
backgrounds, experiences, needs, skills and stories. The College views these differences as something to
be respected and learned from. This valuing of each person’s inherent worth means that the College strives
to treat all others with respect, compassion, value and fairness.
Along with cutting-edge education and specialized services, students are prepared for the global economy
through diversity-based curriculum and co-curricular programs that enhance the climate of the College.
College services, resources, and activities help to meet students where they are, and remove barriers to
success so that course and program completion is achieved, and a satisfying and life sustaining career is
attained.
The College promotes the value that “Everyone Has Worth,” through its commitment to the Diversity
Team. This team’s mission is to advise the Director of Diversity & Inclusion, to advocate for initiatives that
will facilitate the progress of diversity at the College, to challenge practices that impede the fulfillment of
the College’s vision for equity, and to support innovations that stimulate and advance diversity and
inclusion.
