President’s Message
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.
Mission Statement
To prepare students for
today’s careers &
tomorrow’s opportunities.
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!

of high-technology training space. The college serves
communities located east of Lake Washington to the

square miles.
A second facility situated near Marymoor Park was
created to serve the community’s educational and
workforce training needs while enhancing our
corporate partnerships. The Redmond campus serves
education, business, and industry all under one roof.
It is an excellent site for LWTC to bring a college to the
people of Redmond. The campus will also enhance
our corporate partnership by providing a place for
businesses to conduct meetings, seminars and events.

Lake Washington Technical College’s main campus
is located in the city of Kirkland, off Interstate 405,
in northern King County, and is ten miles east of
Seattle, west of Redmond and just north of Bellevue.
Located on the eastern shore of Lake Washington,

waterfront and nearly a quarter of the city’s total
10.5 square-mile area is public parks and moorage.
Opportunities for outdoor recreation abound. The
surrounding area offers a wealth of diverse arts,
entertainment, and cultural attractions.
Kirkland is Washington state’s eighteenth most

what it takes to excel in their career. The college
places a premium on students learning quickly
while mastering the skills of their chosen discipline.

Selecting a Program of Study
Your Preferences Can Guide
Study And Career Plans
Your Values
Deciding 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 Interests
Your 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 Abilities
Identify 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.
You 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.
Lifestyle
The 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.
Advising And Counseling Services
The college’s counselors and advisers are available
to offer academic, career, and personal counseling
to students and prospective students. Appointments
are available by calling Student Development at
(425)739-8100, Ext. 501. Advising services are also
available online at [email protected].
Your Preferred Work Style
Think 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.

A Job In The Career Area I Select?

Manufacturing productivity in the United States is
among the most efficient in the world. The same
fundamental automated control systems and
principles underlie the success of this productivity
whether it is found in automobile factories in the
midwest, airplane factories in the northwest or
fruit packaging factories in the south. This short
certificate introduces the student to these automated
manufacturing principles, systems and hands-on
practices required to effectively work with, install, and
troubleshoot automated manufacturing systems.
The revolution in information technologies that
has swept industries and societies in recent
times is founded on the principles of digital
electronics whereby any “packet” of information
can be translated into an electronic signal. These
electronic signals in turn can be converted into
audio, video, graphic and text formats that can be
transmitted worldwide via the internet or locally to
your home or office printer. This short certificate
introduces the student to the technical foundations
of current communication technologies and will
enable you to explore these technologies in more
depth and to work with them more adeptly in your
workplace.

www.lwtc.ctc.edu/advising
Assessing readiness for college programs is an
important part of student success, and advisers
are available to help each student understand their
placement tests, determine academic readiness
in math and English, and help select appropriate
classes. 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. It is the responsibility
of each student to plan for program completion
including degree requirements, certificate
requirements, and transfer requirements. Early
meetings with an adviser will help make certain that
educational plans are on target.

Persons seeking a degree or certificate must
demonstrate their ability to perform entry-level
reading and math skills before enrolling in a technical
training program. This can be demonstrated through
acceptable transfer credit, CLEP examination results,
official Advanced Placement examination results,
or through placement testing. The college, to assess
reading and math skills, administers the COMPASS
placement tests. These tests assess students’
academic strengths and weaknesses and determine
possible learning needs. A copy of COMPASS

within the past two years, can be accepted for
students who have taken the test elsewhere.
The college requires a minimum placement score in
English and/or math for enrollment in some courses.
Some programs require other minimum scores for
admission. Placement score requirements for English
and math are available in Student Services and the
Assessment Center where tests are administered.
Some programs, such as Dental Hygiene and
Nursing, have additional procedures and
requirements that must be met before enrollment.

Dates for classes are announced in the quarterly
Class Schedule and on the campus Web site at
www.lwtc.ctc.edu. Course updates are distributed
frequently to campus staff.
How To Register
New students seeking a degree or certificate
make an appointment with staff advisers to
complete registration forms and learn about
online registration. Continuing students complete
registration forms with the assistance of a faculty
adviser or counselor and register by assigned time.
There are a number of ways to register for classes.
See the current Class Schedule for all options.
Also see the Programs of Study section for
information about program start dates. These are
subject to change.
Full-Time Status
The college considers students to be full-time if they
are registered in 12 or more credits.
Currently Enrolled Degree- And
Certificate-Seeking Students
1. Meet with a faculty adviser to review courses for next quarter.
2. Register for courses. See Class Schedule or
Enrollment Services for methods of registration.
3. Students pay tuition and fees via the Web, at the Cashier’s Office, or other modes offered by
the college.
Students may register for most courses by Web,

To register in person, go to Enrollment Services
during business hours which are published in each
quarter’s Class Schedule.
Change Of Registration (Add/Drop)
Students must add or drop courses on the Web, or at
Enrollment Services before the change is official.
A refund will occur only when a student officially
withdraws or drops within the refund period. See the
Class Schedule for refund policy.
Late Adds
Courses added after the third day of the quarter require
instructors’ approval. Adding after the 10th day of the
quarter (or of a class) may require special petitions.
The quarterly Class Schedule lists fee payment
requirements. Students are expected to pay tuition
by the first day of the quarter. Students who have
not paid tuition and fees or have not dropped their
classes by the fifth day of the quarter will continue to
owe tuition. Students who still owe tuition after this
date will not be able to register for future quarters,
receive official transcripts, or graduate until their
tuition has been paid.
Waiting Lists
If a class is full, students have the option to be put on
a waiting list. This list automatically adds students to
openings as they appear through the third day of each
quarter. Students are notified when added in this
manner but should check with the course instructor
during the first week of classes. Students should
remove themselves from the waiting list if they decide
not to enroll in the class. See details in the Class
Schedule.
Complete Withdrawal (Drop All Courses)
A student may withdraw from all courses through
the eighth week of the quarter, or the equivalent
proportion for shorter courses or courses with
irregular start and end dates. The refund rate, if any,
would be determined by the longest course being
dropped. That rate would then be applied to the
other courses dropped at that time. It is the student’s
responsibility to drop all classes. Further information
is available in the Class Schedule.

Official withdrawals occurring after the tenth
instructional day of the quarter are posted with a W
on the student’s transcript. A grade of W does not
count in GPA calculations. Not attending a class does
not withdraw a student or make one eligible for a
refund. After the eighth week, an unofficial withdrawal
from the college will result in each instructor assigning
the appropriate grade. Depending on the start date
and length of the class, an early withdrawal during
the first week will not be recorded on the transcript.
Administrative Withdrawals
Many courses at Lake Washington Technical
College require completion of prerequisites prior to
registration. Prerequisites are listed as a component
of each course description and are in place to assist
students achieve success. If a student does not meet
the requirements of a course either by grade, transfer
course work, or test placement score, he or she will
be administratively withdrawn from a course.

and Privacy Act (FERPA), Lake Washington Technical
College enforces guidelines concerning information
about the student’s educational record, and governs
the conditions of disclosure. Except as otherwise
indicated, the college will not provide information
contained in student records unless the expressed
written consent of the student has been given.
Students may declare their entire record confidential,
in which case no information can be released,

Official Withdrawal Definition:
Official withdrawal occurs when a student drops all
classes. Refund requests must be made in person,
in writing, or via the Web. At the time of withdrawal,

below. However, for federal- or state-funded students,
financial aid will be returned to aid programs on a
pro-rata basis consistent with applicable federal and
state rules.
Fees such as insurance and distance learning that are
passed through to another agency may be refunded
at 100 percent through the first week of the quarter
only. No refund will be made if any insurance claim
has been filed.

Financial Aid
Financial Aid
West Building, W209
(425) 739-8106
To 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 employment. 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
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.

Eligibility Requirements
Students 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.
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.
2 0 0 6
• 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.
E
Federal Financial Aid Refund Policy
Students 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.

Satisfactory Academic Progress
for Financial Aid Recipients
Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Recipients
Students receiving financial aid are required to make satisfactory academic progress. Since satisfactory
progress is a financial aid eligibility requirement, all quarters and all credits must be considered regardless of
whether financial aid was received. The college’s satisfactory progress requirements for financial aid, workerretraining, training completion aid, work-first tuition assistance, and most veteran’s benefits recipients are
summarized below.
Qualitative Measure
All students must be in good standing with the college and maintain a quarterly and cumulative grade point
average (GPA) of 2.0.
Quantitative Measure
Students are expected to successfully complete the credits for which they enroll. Credits completed will be
reviewed at the end of each quarter. See the chart below to determine satisfactory progress status.
If you enroll as:
Full-time (12+ cr)
3/4 time (9-11 cr)
1/2 time (6-8 cr)
Less than 1/2 time

Cooperative 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.
W A S H I N G T O N
T E C H N I C A L
C O L L E G E
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.
Prior Learning Assessment Course
Challenge/Credit By Examination
Prior Learning Assessment is a method whereby
learning gained through an individual’s life
experience is considered as credit toward a college
degree program. 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.
Developmental Education Services
Students come to Lake Washington Technical College
with skills at varying levels, yet they want to become
more successful in everyday life or in training
programs. The college offers developmental
education to many students who:
6
Adult Basic Education (ABE) class instructors offer
assistance in developing basic skills in reading,
writing, speaking, spelling, vocabulary, grammar,
problem solving and math. Emphasis is on
developing useful knowledge and applied skills such
as financial and health management, parenting
and raising a family, and finding and keeping a job.
The ABE program welcomes all adults who want to
improve their skills. Each student discovers where
his or her learning level is, and a personal program
is developed. All learning levels, from the very basic
to GED, can be accommodated. The Academic
Skills Center offers group classes and individualized
instruction. For more information, please call the
college at (425)739-8100, ext.656.
General Education Development
General Education Development (GED) is a series
of five tests developed by the American Council
on Education to enable persons to obtain the
equivalency of a high school diploma. Earning
a GED provides students with greater access to
employment, advancement and higher education
opportunities. The Academic Skills Center offers
GED preparation classes and pre-tests. All students,
under the age of 19, need to obtain a release from
their school district in order to take the test. Two
pieces of ID are required at the time of testing. The
college is a designated testing center for GED exams.
Testing appointments must be scheduled in advance
either at the Assessment Center, West Building,
2nd floor, or by calling (425)739-8115. For more
information, go to www.lwtc.ctc.edu/assessment.

Credits And Credit Load
The 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 Status
Students 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.
Graduation
The 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.
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.
Diploma
A 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 Completion
An 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].
Grading
Lake 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:
Graduation is recorded on student transcripts twoto-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.

Excellent performance

Unsatisfactory performance
I-Incomplete
An 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 Grade
NG 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.
The 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/Unsatisfactory
S/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 Withdrawal
Students 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-Withdrawal
A 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.
N-Audit
Audit means the student registered on a spaceavailable 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.

Y-In Progress
A 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 Policy
In 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 Process
Students 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.
W A S H I N G T O N
T E C H N I C A L
C O L L E G E
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:

Grade
ENGL 100

ABED 040 5

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 Changes
Grades 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 before 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 Reports
After the end of each quarter, grades can be accessed 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 Attendance
Regular 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.
