MISSION STATEMENT

To prepare students for

today’s careers &

tomorrow’s opportunities.

INvESTMENTS vErSuS ExPENSES

Many of us confuse expenses and investments. My children make fun of the older vehicle I drive (and maybe the epoxy holding the outside mirror in place is a bit much!) and want me to “invest” in a newer car, but mine works fine. I view transportation as an expense to be minimized, so I can invest in important things like a college savings plan (for my new grandchildren) and the LWTC Foundation which helps provide scholarships for you.

While enrolling in college is expensive, LWTC is likely to be your smartest investment ever. According to two award winning economists, your lifetime earnings will increase an average of $4.96 for every dollar you invest at LWTC including tuition, fees, books and foregone earnings (from attending college instead of working full time.) Earning a degree from LWTC means an increase in average lifetime earnings of nearly $300,000.

While you are investing in yourself by coming to LWTC, the state of Washington is also making a big investment in you. Tuition covers only a small part of the cost of operating this college. Besides basic operations, LWTC is building new facilities and starting new programs to help you build your own brighter future. Our new $1million fitness center will open this fall. We are spending $1.6 million on new science labs and are designing a new, $32 million, three story allied health building. We also have some exciting plans for our Redmond campus, for the Duvall area, and for a major land acquisition to be used by our horticulture program.

Potential new programs in various stages of planning include Paralegal Assistant, Renewable Energy Specialist, Physical Therapy Assistant, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Funeral Services Education, Health Unit Coordinator, Medical/Clinical Lab Technician, Massage Therapist, Surgical Technician, Health Information Technician, EMT/Paramedic, Medical Coding/Billing Specialist, EKG Technician, Phlebotomist, Advanced Nurse Assistant, and Home Health Aide.

For you and for LWTC, the best is yet to be!

electing a Program of StudySyOur PrEfErENCES CAN GuIdE STudy ANd CArEEr PLANSDeciding which career is best for you is not only a very important decision, it’s often a very difficult one. Our counselors and advisers know this and will work to help you match your interests and abilities with appropriate careers. You can start your career decision process by taking a self-inventory of what’s important to you. yOur INTErESTSYour interests play an important role in career selection. When you enjoy what you do, you increase your chances for success because you find your work satisfying and fulfilling.

yOur SKILLS ANd AbILITIESIdentify what you are good at and then talk to others about your strengths. Your skills and abilities are the key to knowing yourself better and making a positive career decision. When you enter a program that features your strengths, class work will be easier for you.

yOur PrEfErrEd WOrK STyLEThink about the kind of work structure and the kind of environment you want to work in. Consider the amount of responsibility you’ll want and the amount of stress you can handle. These personal characteristics affect your career success. Think about whether you prefer to work alone or with others, be your own boss, work outdoors, work in a large company or a small business, or interact with the public.

yOur vALuESYou make all kinds of personal value decisions–where to live, what to do for entertainment, what kind of clothes to wear or food to eat. Think about these choices and by assessing them, you’ll help identify the priorities in your life.

LIfESTyLEThe kind of career you choose can influence the kind of life you’ll live. For example, some health care workers often work weekends, but they find the work rewarding and good for their self-esteem because it fulfills a personal value.

An adviser can help each student determine degree and certificate requirements, a sequence of courses, and select general education courses. The first appointment with an adviser is also a good time to discuss the transfer of any other college credits. Quality planning will help each student select the right program and the right classes at the right time.

Students planning to apply for the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree or certificate should meet with an adviser to review degree planning steps and degree requirements, degree progress, and to complete the college admissions application. Advisers can refer students to an array of college services designed to support student success.

Early meetings with an adviser will help make certain that educational plans are on target.

fINANCIAL AIdWest Building, W209(425) 739-8106To help finance your education, we encourage you to inform yourself about financial aid through our Web site http://www.lwtc.ctc.edu/financialaid, by reading the available literature, or by contacting the Financial Aid Office. Lake Washington Technical College believes people should have the opportunity to achieve their educational goals and the Financial Aid Office is here to help support you in your educational efforts. Financial aid is available for eligible students who enroll either to earn a certificate or a degree. Students and their families need not be low-income to qualify for some kinds of financial aid. By applying for financial aid as early as possible and meeting the institutional priority date, students have the best chance of being reviewed before the beginning of each quarter, and the best chance of maximum funds eligibility each financial aid year. Financial aid is intended to add to but not replace a person’s financial resources. If combined resources are not sufficient to cover expenses, you may be eligible for financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships, low-interest loans and student employ-ment. You must demonstrate a financial need to be eligible for most types of assistance. Financial need is calculated as the difference between the cost of attending school and what you and your family can afford to pay.SAMPLE CALCuLATION: Cost of Attendance - Expected Family Contribution = Financial Need

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the basic form to apply for assistance and is your passport to financial aid. Information on this form determines your eligibility for grants, scholarships, work study and low-interest loans.

fINANCIAL AId APPLICATION PrOCEdurE • Complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the federal processor. This application collects financial data and other information used to calculate the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) that determines a student’s eligibility for aid. Applications are available in the Financial Aid office, and many of the forms needed may be downloaded from the Financial Aid Web site at www.lwtc.ctc.edu/financialaid.

• Stay in touch with the Financial Aid Office to be certain that all information has been received to complete your file. • Students must reapply for financial aid each year after January 1 for the new award year beginning with summer quarter. The financial aid year begins with summer quarter and ends with spring quarter.

ELIGIbILITy rEQuIrEMENTSStudents are eligible for financial aid if they are:• For most aid programs, attending for the purpose of obtaining a degree or certificate at the college. (Some certificate programs may not be eligible for certain types of aid. Check with the Financial Aid Office to verify program eligibility.) • A U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen. • Making satisfactory academic progress in a program of study as defined by the institution’s satisfactory progress criteria. • Not in default on any previous student loans or owing a refund on any grants. • Registered for the draft with Selective Service (if male), as required by law. • A high school graduate, have a GED or passing scores on an approved ability-to-benefit test.

Students who have the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree (including degrees earned in a foreign country) are limited to applying for loans and work-study assistance.

Students will be notified of their financial aid award by mail. Awarding begins in May.

fEdErAL fINANCIAL AId rEfuNd POLICyStudents that receive federal financial aid are subject to the federal Return to Title IV Funds regulations. These regulations state that aid eligibility for a student receiving federal aid must be recalculated under most circumstances if the student withdraws from classes early or ceases to attend during the quarter. Some students may owe a repayment to the federal aid programs. These regulations and any resulting amounts owed are separate from and may be in addition to the College’s own tuition refund policy. For a copy of the Return to Title IV Funds refund policy, please contact the Financial Aid Office.

COOPErATIvE EduCATIONCooperative education is a process that draws upon community resources to expand students’ learning outside the classroom. It offers students the opportunity to blend classroom theory with planned, supervised field experience in areas relating to their career choices. They work with a cooperative education coordinator, faculty member and employer to identify and develop specific skills and learning goals to be gained through the encounter.

Academic Information




Students work on paid, or in some cases, unpaid training assignments while integrating specific periods of on-campus study with employment. The employer pays the student.

You may be able to apply your current job experience, if related to a career choice, toward a certificate or degree. Cooperative education experience may substitute for some coursework to meet personal needs. For more information on Cooperative Education, contact your faculty adviser.

This learning can come from a variety of sources, including work, volunteer, hobbies, and/or family responsibilities. Students may receive Lake Washington Technical College credit if an acceptable level of competence in the course material is demonstrated.

Up to 25% of the credits required for a degree or certificate may be earned through prior learning experience (PLA). Awarding of PLA credits by Lake Washington Technical College does not guarantee or imply that other institutions will accept such credit. See an advisor for further information.

CrEdITS ANd CrEdIT LOAdThe academic year is divided into four quarters of approximately eleven weeks each (the length of individual courses may differ). In order to complete certificate or degree requirements in the prescribed number of quarters, a course load per quarter will be approximately 15-20 credits. A lecture class which meets five hours per week for one quarter will yield five quarter credits. Lab courses require ten hours of class time per week for five credits. Special permission is needed to carry more than 25 credits.

fuLL- ANd PArT-TIME STudENT STATuSStudents enrolled in 12 or more credits are considered full-time. Some programs may require higher quarterly credit loads to complete requirements in a specified time period. Some external agencies may use different credit values to calculate full-time status.

Students registered for fewer than full-time credits as defined above are considered part-time. Note: for financial aid purposes, the financial aid office should be consulted for definitions of three-quarter time, half-time, and less than half-time since the level of enrollment affects aid eligibility.

GrAduATIONThe student is responsible for working with his or her adviser to meet all degree or certificate requirements. Automated degree checks are available for various academic programs and time periods through online services on the campus Web site.

To receive a preliminary evaluation before the final quarter starts, students must apply to graduate by the second week of the preceding quarter. Students should apply to graduate by the fourth week of the preceding quarter. Applications received after that may be deferred to a future quarter.

Commencement is held yearly in June. Students who complete a program during the preceding fall, winter and spring quarters, or the following summer, are invited to participate.

Graduation is recorded on student transcripts two-to-four weeks after the end of the student’s final quarter. Certificates are sent to students at that time. Degrees are sent to students four to six weeks after the end of the final quarter.

Some programs offer other special awards that are not posted to the transcript.

In accordance with state law, students are expected to complete their degree and certificate programs within a suitable length of time or number of credits. See Enrollment Services or the student handbook for details.

LAKE WASHINGTON TECHNICAL ACAdEMy dIPLOMAA Lake Washington Technical Academy high school diploma is awarded to students who complete all OSPI requirements while enrolled as students in good standing. This is a total of 11 high school credits in core requirements of English, math, science, social sciences, and 11 high school credits in electives. A total of 22 credits are required for the Academy high school diploma. Commencement is held in June of each academic year.

HIGH SCHOOL COMPLETIONAn adult high school diploma is awarded through LWTC for adults 19 years of age or older who did not complete requirements for a high school diploma. Minimum credits required are 19 high school credits. For information and evaluation of an official high school transcript, contact High School Programs, West Building, W210, call (425)739-8107 or e-mail [email protected].

GrAdINGLake Washington Technical College uses a numeric grading system for most courses. Instructors may report grades from 4.0 to 0.7 in 0.1 increments and the grade of 0.0. Grades in the range of 0.6 to 0.1 are not assigned. A grade of 0.7 earns credits. However, a minimum grade of 2.0 is required for a number of purposes including technical courses, general education requirements, progression in a sequence of classes, to satisfy a prerequisite, and graduation requirements. Numerical grades may be considered equivalent to letter grades as follows:




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 is doing passing work, is unable to complete the requirements of the course during the quarter due to reasons beyond his/her control (accident, illness, death in family, etc.), and can successfully complete requirements of the course with no additional instruction. Because of this, the student does not reregister for the course in a later quarter to remove the Incomplete within the deadline period. When an I (Incomplete) grade is given by an instructor, a contract is filed with Enrollment Services stating the work necessary to remove the Incomplete, a date for completion, and the grade earned if not completed. Incomplete coursework must be completed by the required date as established by the instructor (this date may be no later than the end of the subsequent quarter of enrollment). At the time of graduation, the Incomplete will be changed to a 0.0 or to the grade assigned on the contract.

NG-NO GrAdENG means the course is “not graded” for any student taking the course. This applies, for example, to some non-credit courses. It would not appear on graded, credit courses. NG does not affect the GPA and does not earn credits. It does not indicate whether a student attended, just that the student enrolled.

N-AudITAudit means the student registered on a space-available basis to attend the class and to listen, but not do graded work. The N grade does not earn credit and does not affect the GPA. The audit grade option must be approved by the instructor and submitted to Enrollment Services by the 10th day of the quarter.

r-rEPEATING A COurSEThe qualifier R on a transcript means a course has been repeated, and is excluded from credits and grade point average. A student may repeat any course taken at LWTC in which a grade of less than 2.0 or a U was earned. All grades will still appear on the transcript whether repeated or not. If the most recent grade is lower than the earlier grade, the student may request the registrar to count just the higher grade in the GPA.

S/u-SATISfACTOry/uNSATISfACTOryS/U grading is used for work experience, clinical, and skill development courses. The S indicates a satisfactory level of performance by the student. By assigning an S grade, the instructor certifies a performance level of at least a 2.0 or higher. Credit is earned but the S does not affect the GPA calculation. A U grade is assigned when the level of performance is below 2.0. A U grade does not earn credit and does not affect the GPA.

z-uNOffICIAL WITHdrAWALStudents who attend briefly, rarely, or not at all, and who fail to withdraw from a course with a W grade, may be assigned a grade of Z if appropriate in the judgment of an administrator. The Z grade does not earn credit and does not count in the GPA calculation.

W-WITHdrAWALA student may officially withdraw from any course through the eighth week of the quarter (or the equivalent for a short course or courses with irregular start or end dates) by completing a withdrawal form and submitting it to Enrollment Services. Official withdrawals occurring after the tenth instructional day of the quarter are posted with a W on the student’s permanent transcript. Withdrawals do not count in the GPA calculations and cannot be assigned by faculty in the grading process.



y-IN PrOGrESSA Y grade is given to students who are doing passing coursework but need additional instruction and time to complete course requirements. Students are required to re-register for the course and pay all tuition and any other charges. The Y remains on the transcript for the quarter assigned, while the final grade will be posted to the quarter in which the student re-enrolled in the course. The Y grade earns no credit and does not affect the GPA.

* (ASTErISK)This symbol (asterisk) means the grade has not been assigned yet. The student should consult with his or her instructor. This grade does not affect the GPA and does not earn credits. Note however that a * grade could prevent a student from receiving honors, impede financial aid eligibility, block graduation, or result in a student being considered in academic difficulty. It is important that all enrolled courses be assigned valid grades.

ACAdEMIC GrAdE fOrGIvENESS POLICyIn order to compensate for the effects of circumstances in a student’s past that may have negatively affected his or her GPA, LWTC offers a grade forgiveness policy. This procedure can be accomplished through an appeal filed with the registrar. The following criteria must be met to be eligible for such an appeal:

1. Grades must be three or more years old. 2. Only quarters including credits graded below a 2.0 may be forgiven. 3. Grade forgiveness can include one or several quarters from a census point back, as requested by the student. 4. The student must demonstrate a 2.0 GPA in all decimal graded courses taken after the last date of the period for which a student is requesting forgiveness.

All courses in a given quarter are removed from the GPA but remain on the student’s transcript. This appeal can be requested by turning in a letter of appeal to the registrar in Enrollment Services. A determination will be made whether grade forgiveness is appropriate on a case-by-case basis.

Note: Grade forgiveness can only be granted once. Grades previously forgiven will not be reinstated.

Also if a student is transferring to another college, that college may not recognize the grade forgiveness previously granted at Lake Washington Technical College.

GrAdE APPEAL PrOCESSStudents are responsible for maintaining standards of academic progress and following course procedures established by their instructors. The purpose of the grade appeal is to protect students from prejudiced, arbitrary or capricious academic evaluation.

A grade appeal only applies to the final course grade. The assignment of a grade is the right and responsibility of the instructor. Students have the right to appeal a grade deemed arbitrary or capricious. In a grade appeal, the appropriate instructional division dean will meet only with the student and instructor. No other advocate may be present. The student is responsible for knowing and initiating the grade appeal process. The student must file grade appeals within the first three weeks of the academic quarter following the quarter in which the grade was received. The student must first meet with the instructor who assigned the grade. The instructor will explain the rationale for awarding the grade. The student is responsible for demonstrating grade error or that arbitrary or capricious assignment of the final course grade occurred. If the result of the student’s meeting with the instructor does not produce a satisfactory resolution of the student appeal, the student may appeal to the appropriate division dean. The dean will meet with the student, review the course materials and grade assigned, and render a decision to deny, approve, or modify the appeal within ten working days. The decision of the dean is final.

GrAdE POINT AvErAGE (GPA)The grade point average indicates the general achievement of the student. The quarterly GPA includes only classes for that specific quarter; the cumulative GPA includes all classes which comprise the student’s academic history at LWTC. GPA is calculated by dividing the grade points by the number of credits of the courses for which the student was awarded a decimal grade. Grade points are calculated by multiplying the number of credits by the numeric value of the grade for each course.




The calculation does not include courses for which the student was awarded Z, Y, N, W, I, S, U, or other non-decimal grades. Example: Course Credits GradeENGL 100 5 3.7ABED 040 5 SPSYC 100 5 4.0 5 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 for all quarters combined, which is referred to as a cumulative GPA. Contact Enrollment Services if you have questions about your GPA.

GrAdE CHANGESGrades may be changed by instructors only in cases of clerical errors or subsequent completion of coursework. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate a grade change with the instructor. A grade change form must be completed, signed by the instructor, and submitted to Enrollment Services be-fore a grade change becomes official. Students have 60 days from the end of the quarter to request a grade change (deadlines for Incomplete grades differ).

GrAdE rEPOrTSAfter the end of each quarter, grades can be ac-cessed through the college’s online services. Official transcripts are available through Enrollment Services and unofficial transcripts are available on the Web. It is important that students check grades at the end of each quarter and address questions promptly. See Grade Changes above.

HONOr rOLL• President’s List requires a 4.0 quarterly grade-point average with a minimum of 12 credits. • Dean’s list requires a 3.7 quarterly grade-point average with a minimum of 12 credits.

Honors are awarded at graduation for students who achieve the following cumulative grade point averages:

• Cum Laude = 3.5-3.69 • Magna Cum Laude = 3.7-3.99 • Summa Cum Laude = 4.00

Each candidate for graduation is assessed at the time graduation is finally approved. Please contact Enrollment Services for further information.

CLASS ATTENdANCERegular student attendance in classes is strongly encouraged and may count as a percentage of the grade in any given class. All coursework must be completed to the satisfaction of the instructor. The student is responsible for initiating make-up work.
