Credit for Work-Based Learning

Career and technical students may participate in Work-Based Learning which allows the student to receive up to six hours WBL credit.  These credits may be applied as technical electives and counted toward the graduation requirements of the career-technical curriculum.  In order to receive three semester hours, the student must work a total of 270 hours throughout the semester.  These hours are verified with the employer by the Work-Based Learning Coordinator.

An evaluation of a WBL student is conducted by the Work-Based Learning Coordinator either in person or by mail with the student’s immediate supervisor.  At this time, the supervisor completes an evaluation form that is designed to be specific to the student’s program of study.  The student’s course grade is based on work performance and evaluation.  Should a student not fulfill all paperwork requirements, be laid off, terminated, or resign without officially withdrawing from the program, a grade of “F” is assigned.  More detailed information may be obtained by contacting the Work-Based Learning Coordinator.
