REACHING NEW HEIGHTS!

Although the college has attractive, modern facilities (with newbuildings under construction), what really sold me on my firstvisit to LWTC was the employees. Now as president, I continuallyhear about the dedicated faculty and staff at the college and howthey have changed and enriched so many lives. There are manyfine colleges in the region, but the one sustainable competitiveadvantage we have at LWTC is our human capital.

When I was young, someone once remarked that if you see a turtleup on top of a fencepost, you know that he didn’t get up there byhimself. Last weekend, I joined two other employees from thecollege on a climb to the summit of Mount Hood. Workingtogether, all of us performed beyond what we could have done asindividuals.

In the four years that I’ve been at the college, we have workedtogether as a team and achieved remarkable successes. We havebeen tested by the state’s shrinking funding while the demand forthe college’s offerings has never been greater. At the same time,we have worked hard to meet this demand and the college hasnever been stronger. The state has responded to our successeswith funding for the Technology Center ($17 million), and phaseone of our Redmond Campus ($7 million) and by funding therenovation of the East and West Buildings ($4.4 million).

Our goal is to be the region’s premier provider of workforcetraining. I began to list some of the college’s offerings that havereceived state and national recognition but it quickly ran toseveral pages. I am limited to just one page, but if you ever want tohave all the conversation you can handle, just ask me what makesme proud to be your president!

As proud as I am of our past achievements, we won’t rest on ourlaurels. Our mission is to prepare students for today’s careers andtomorrow’s opportunities, and we will work hard to exceed yourexpectations. Just like you, we still have lots of summits to reach!

COOPERATIVE EDUCATIONCooperative education is a process that draws uponcommunity resources to expand students’ learningoutside the classroom. It offers students theopportunity to blend classroom theory withplanned, supervised field experience in areasrelating to their career choices. They work with acooperative education coordinator, faculty memberand employer to identify and develop specific skillsand learning goals to be gained through theencounter.

Students work on paid, or in some cases, unpaidtraining assignments while integrating specificperiods of on-campus study with employment. Theemployer pays the student.

You may be able to apply your current jobexperience, if related to a career choice, toward acertificate or degree. Cooperative educationexperience may substitute for some coursework tomeet personal needs. For more information onCooperative Education, please call (425) 739-8300.

CREDITS AND CREDIT LOADThe academic year is divided into four quarters ofapproximately eleven weeks each (the length ofindividual courses may differ). In order tocomplete certificate or degree requirements in theprescribed number of quarters, a course load perquarter will be approximately 20 credits. A lectureclass which meets five hours per week for onequarter will yield five quarter credits. Lab coursesrequire ten hours of class time per week for fivecredits. Special permission is needed to carry morethan 25 credits.

FULL- AND PART-TIME STUDENT STATUSStudents enrolled in 12 or more credits areconsidered full-time. Some programs may requirehigher quarterly credit loads to complete require-ments in a specified time period. Some externalagencies may use different credit values to calculatefull-time status.

Students registered for fewer than full-time creditsas defined above are considered part-time. Note:for financial aid purposes, the financial aid officeshould be consulted for definitions of three-quartertime, half-time, and less than half-time since thelevel of enrollment affects aid eligibility.

GRADINGLake Washington Technical College uses a numericgrading system for most courses. Instructors mayreport grades from 4.0 to 0.7 in 0.1 incrementsand the grade of 0.0. Grades in the range of 0.6 to0.1 are not assigned. A grade of 0.7 is passing inthat it earns credits. However, a minimum grade of2.0 is required for a number of purposes, includ-ing graduation, technical course grades, andGeneral Education requirements. Numerical gradesmay be considered equivalent to letter grades asfollows:



Points Letter4.0 A Excellent performance3.9-3.7 A-3.6-3.3 B+3.2-3.0 B Above-average performance2.9-2.7 B-2.6-2.3 C+2.2-2.0 C Average performance1.9-1.7 C-1.6-1.3 D+1.2-1.0 D Minimum performance0.9-0.7 D-0.0-0.6 F Unsatisfactory performance

I-INCOMPLETEAn incomplete grade may be given if the student isdoing passing work, is unable to complete therequirements of the course during the quarter dueto reasons beyond his/her control (accident, illness,death in family, etc.), and can successfully completerequirements of the course with no additionalinstruction. Because of this, the student does not re-register for the course in a later quarter to removethe Incomplete within the deadline period. When anI (Incomplete) grade is given by an instructor, acontract is filed with Admissions and Registrationstating the work necessary to remove the Incom-plete, a date for completion, and the grade earned ifnot completed. Incomplete coursework must becompleted by the required date as established by theinstructor (this date may be no later than the end ofthe subsequent quarter of enrollment). At the timeof graduation, the Incomplete will be changed to a0.0 or to the grade assigned on the contract, if oneis available.

NG-NO GRADENG means the course is “not graded” for any studenttaking the course. This applies, for example, tosome non-credit courses. It would not appear ongraded, credit courses. NG does not affect the GPAand does not earn credits. It does not indicatewhether a student attended, just that the studentenrolled.

N-AUDITAudit means the student registered on a space-available basis to attend the class and to listen, butnot do graded work. The N grade does not earncredit and does not affect the GPA. See the Registra-tion Section for more information.

R-REPEATING A COURSEThe qualifier R on a transcript means a course hasbeen repeated, and is excluded from credits andgrade point average. A student may repeat anycourse taken at LWTC in which a grade of less than2.0 or a U was earned. All grades will still appear onthe transcript whether repeated or not. If the mostrecent grade is lower than the earlier grade, thestudent may request the registrar to count just thehigher grade in the GPA.

S/U-SATISFACTORY/UNSATISFACTORYS/U grading is used for work experience, clinical,and skill development courses. The S indicates asatisfactory level of performance by the student. Byassigning an S grade, the instructor certifies aperformance level of at least a 2.0 or higher. Creditis earned but the S does not affect the GPA calcula-tion. A U grade is assigned when the level ofperformance is below 2.0. A U grade does not earncredit and does not affect the GPA.

Z-UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWALStudents who attend briefly, rarely, or not at all, andwho fail to withdraw from a course with a W grade,may be assigned a grade of Z if appropriate in thejudgment of an administrator. The Z grade does notearn credit and does not count in the GPAcalculation.

W-WITHDRAWALA student may officially withdraw from any coursethrough the eighth week of the quarter (or theequivalent for a short course or courses withirregular start or end dates) by completing awithdrawal form and submitting it to Admissionsand Registration. Official withdrawals occurringafter the tenth instructional day of the quarter areposted with a W on the student’s permanenttranscript. Withdrawals do not count in the GPAcalculations and cannot be assigned by faculty in thegrading process.

Y-IN PROGRESSA Y grade is given to students who are doing passingcoursework but need additional instruction andtime to complete course requirements. Students arerequired to re-register for the course and pay alltuition and any other charges. The Y remains on thetranscript for the quarter assigned, while the finalgrade will be posted to the quarter in which the



student re-enrolled in the course. The Y grade earnsno credit and does not affect the GPA.

* (ASTERISK)This symbol (asterisk) means the grade has not beenassigned yet. The student should consult with his orher instructor. This grade does not affect the GPA anddoes not earn credits. Note however that a * gradecould prevent a student from receiving honors,impede financial aid eligibility, block graduation, orresult in a student being considered in academicdifficulty. It is important that all enrolled courses beassigned valid grades.

GRADE AND RECORDS APPEALIf there is some tangible evidence that an impropergrade was given, a student must appeal directly within60 days of the official ending date of the quarter.Students planning to appeal a grade should retain alltests, papers and other evidence they may have tosupport the appeal.

The process for appealing is as follows:1. Meet with the course instructor first.2. If not satisfied, meet with the instructional dean,

who will render a decision.3. If not satisfied, information is presented to the

judicial board, which will make a recommenda-tion to the appropriate vice president.

4. If not satisfied, student requests a hearing beforethe appropriate vice president, who renders adecision.

5. If not satisfied, student appeals to the president,who issues the final decision.

In general, students should request any correction totheir records within 60 days of the end of the quarter.

GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)The grade point average indicates the generalachievement of the student. The quarterly GPAincludes only classes for that specific quarter; thecumulative GPA includes all classes which comprisethe student’s academic history at LWTC.

GPA is calculated by dividing the grade points by thenumber of credits of the courses for which thestudent was awarded a decimal grade. Grade pointsare calculated by multiplying the number of creditsby the numeric value of the grade for each course.

The calculation does not include courses for whichthe student was awarded Z, Y, N, W, I, S, U, or othernon-decimal grades.

Example:Course Credits GradeEnglish 100 5 3.7ABED 37 5 SCSNT 114 5 4.05 credits x 3.7 = 18.5 grade points.5 credits x 4.0 = 20 grade points.Total grade points: 18.5 + 20 = 38.5.Total credits taken for a decimal grade: 5 + 5 = 10.GPA: 38.5 grade points divided by 10 credits = 3.85.

The GPA is calculated for each quarter and also forall quarters combined, which is referred to as acumulative GPA.

GRADE CHANGEGrades may be changed by instructors only in casesof clerical errors or subsequent completion ofcoursework. It is the student’s responsibility toinitiate a grade change with the instructor.

A grade change form must be completed, signed bythe instructor, and submitted to the Admissions andRegistration Office before a grade change becomesofficial. Students have 60 days from the end of thequarter to request a grade change (deadlines forIncomplete grades differ).

GRADE REPORTSAfter the end of each quarter, grades can beaccessed through the college’s Internet and Touchtonetelephone services. Official transcripts are availablethrough the office of Admissions and Registrationand unofficial transcripts are available on the Web. Itis important that students check grades at the end ofeach quarter and address questions promptly. SeeGrade Changes above.

CLASS ATTENDANCERegular student attendance in classes is stronglyencouraged and may count as a percentage of thegrade in any given class. All coursework must becompleted to the satisfaction of the instructor. Thestudent is responsible for initiating make-up work.
