Double the Credit, without Doubling Time or Money! (continued from front cover) Grades Dual credit students are held to the same course content standards and standards of achievement as those expected of students in postsecondary courses. Dual credit students are assessed using the same methods (e.g. papers, portfolios, quizzes, labs, etc.) as their on-campus counterparts. Postsecondary courses administered through the Dual Credit program reflect the pedagogical, theoretical, and philosophical orientation of the sponsoring faculty and/or academic department at CWI. Any grade appeals follow the policies described in the CWI Catalog. Students may view their grades through the mycwi student portal. If you are receiving high school credit your school may require an official transcript as record of your grade and credit hours. Without a Dual Credit Student Records Release & Consent Form on file, the institution will not release academic information to parents. Please be aware that your grade does go on your permanent academic transcript. Drop and Withdrawal Procedures Dual credit students can only drop/withdraw from courses by submitting an Add/Drop form directly to the CWI Dual Credit Office. Being dropped from a course for non-payment is not a guarantee. Students taking Dual Credit courses at a high school campus will have different drop and withdrawal deadlines than course taken on campus or online. Please review the included CWI Student Checklist for additional information. Deadlines are published in the official academic calendar each semester for on campus and online courses and within this packet for courses offered at high schools. Students dropping courses prior to the drop deadline are entitled to 100 percent refunds of tuition and fees. A dropped course does not generate a permanent academic record. All class drops must be officially recorded by the College by completing an Add/Drop form and submitting it to the Dual Credit Office. Classes may NOT be dropped by telephone or e-mail. Failing to drop by this method may result in an outstanding debt to the College as well as a permanent academic transcript record with a grade of F. Once the drop deadline has passed, students may withdraw from courses or completely withdraw from all courses taken on campus or online that are a full semester in length through Friday of the twelfth week of class for fall and spring semesters or Friday of the sixth week of class for the summer semester; courses offered at the high school will have until the withdrawal deadline provided in this packet. A withdrawn course generates a permanent academic transcript record with a grade of "W". This is considered an unsuccessful attempt and can have impact on a student s financial aid eligibility. Students who withdraw from courses after the census date are NOT entitled to refunds and the full balance owed remains due and payable to CWI. Payment Policies 1. Students will be charged the $65 per credit tuition rate as established by the State Board of Education Council on Academic Affairs and Programs (CAAP) plus any additional online or lab fees associated with the courses for which they enroll. 2. Books and materials are the responsibility of the student. 3. Students who do not make payment in full by the appropriate deadline will be charged a $50 late fee and may be dropped from courses for nonpayment. Please review the included Student Checklist for additional information on these dates. 4. Payment may be made online via mycwi, at the CWI Dual Credit Office, or at any of the CWI One Stop Student Services locations. 5. Students, and their cosigner if required, will be bound by the Dual Credit Payment Agreement that appears on the back page of the Dual Credit Registration Form included in this packet. Official Transcripts Order official transcripts online at www.studentclearinghouse.org. Please make sure to request these transcripts from the College of Southern Idaho as CWI delivers college credit instruction through its memorandum of understanding with CSI. Requests received without the appropriate fees will NOT be processed. Official CWI transcripts will not be released if there are HOLDS (financial or other) on the student's account. Until financial obligations are cleared by the student (or stayed by bankruptcy proceedings or discharged in bankruptcy) CWI will not issue official transcripts. Students have a right to review the records and to request a hearing if they believe that no debt is owed or the amount of debt is incorrect. CWI will not issue transcripts of work completed at other institutions, students need to order directly from the original source.
