credit awarded through an advanced standing articulation agreement by another Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) college for similar courses or those courses adopted as part of a system-wide curriculum.
2. Transcripted Credit – CVTC courses, using college textbooks and materials,
are taught in our local high schools by their WTCS certified high school teacher. An agreement is in place to allow for dual enrollment. College credits are awarded and recorded on a CVTC transcript immediately upon successful completion of the course. Courses taken for College credit appear on the transcript and shall be transferable to other technical colleges who have the same course. Courses vary by high school. An agreement between CVTC and the high school outlines the conditions a student must meet to successfully complete the course.
Transfer of Credit to University of Wisconsin System Colleges
Students enrolled in CVTC who wish to continue their education in the University of Wisconsin System may be eligible to transfer credits toward their bachelor’s degree. Visit the Transfer Wisconsin page at www.wisconsin.edu/transfer for course-by-course transfer information. Program-to-program agreements with the University of Wisconsin System campuses may be found in MyCVTC > Records & Registration > Transfer.
Grading Procedures
CVTC uses a standard 4.0 scale for grading and calculating quality points. There are five grading periods during the year, each consisting of eight weeks. Final grades are recorded to students’ official transcript and used in the calculation of grade point average (GPA). Midterm grades for each semester are available on the Student Information System (SIS). Midterm grades are informational only and neither figure in the grade point average (GPA) nor appear on the academic transcript.
Students may access final grades through the Student Information System (SIS) on MyCVTC. Students who have financial obligations to the College will not have access to grades on SIS or an official/unofficial transcript until the obligations are met. A “hold” will be placed on the academic records until all outstanding financial obligations are paid.
Grade point average (GPA) is calculated using the total quality points earned divided by total credits attempted. For example, a student who receives an “A” in a 3-credit course receives 12 quality points (4.00 x 3 = 12). Add the quality points of all courses taken in a term and divide it by the total credits attempted to obtain the term GPA. A GPA calculator is also available on MyCVTC.
