ADVANCED STANDING
Advanced Standing by Test-Out
Successful advanced standing by test-out requests receive tuition reimbursement based upon the
refund policy. Additional information on refunds is available on the LTC website: gotoltc.edu/how-to-
apply. For a list of LTC course test-outs, contact Testing Services at 920.693.1184 or visit
gotoltc.edu/testingservices.
Students have the opportunity to earn advanced standing for courses providing a test out option for
credit. Students seeking advanced standing in classes they want to enroll in or are enrolled in need to
complete testing out of the class. Class refunds will be given in accordance with the WTCS refund
policy. Please note courses with credits earned through a challenge test are not eligible for financial aid.
The student does not have to be enrolled in the course to challenge test.
If the student chooses to test out of a currently enrolled class, any refund due to the student will follow
WTCS refund policy for that particular class
Advanced Standing/High School Articulation Agreements
Credit for Advanced Standing Agreements – Students are awarded credit based on successful
completion of high school courses for which an articulation agreement exists with the College.
Credit is awarded after a student submits an official high school transcript documenting
completion of the courses as outlined in the articulation agreement. For students transferring
from another technical college, credit awarded for high school coursework covered by an
articulation agreement at the originating technical college shall be accepted as credit toward
completion of a comparable course or courses.
Career Progression & Career Ladder Programs for Advanced Placement
Career Progression-Career Ladder programs within the Wisconsin Technical College System apply
previously learned competencies from short-term programs or one-year programs to associate degree
programs. Students contact the Career Pathway Coordinator at 920.693.1727 for information on
availability, work verification, and standards of career progression programs in their areas of study.
ATTENDANCE
It is important that all students enrolled at LTC attend classes regularly to receive the maximum benefit
from the educational opportunities provided. Students are expected to abide by the attendance policy
established by the instructor as published in the course syllabus.

irregular attendance is negatively affecting achievement will be referred through LTC’s referral process
to develop an appropriate plan for student success.
It is the student’s responsibility to drop a course if they no longer plan to attend. The refund amount will
