WELCOME TO WESTERN TECHNICAL COLLEGE!

Embrace your future at Western Technical College! Welcome to Western Technical College! In my short time on campus, I have found Western to be an amazing place. Whether you are attending your first ever college course, returning to school to continue your education, or simply have a passion to learn, Western is the place for you! Western's programs will launch you into a rewarding career or can be used to transfer to a four-year college or university. These opportunities also await you at a reasonable cost.

Here at Western, the class sizes are small, which makes it easy for instructors to work individually with students. Here at Western, instructors care about your success. Take the time and opportunity to speak with your instructors. They are valuable resources in the community, with real-life experience outside the classroom. The small class sizes ensures everyone has the opportunity to be successful. Nobody is allowed to "slip through the cracks" and everyone is given the opportunity to success while meeting new people. Take the time to visit the many campus resources available and learn about how Western can help you.

Opportunities await you at Western! Western has a wide variety of clubs, volunteer opportunities, athletics, and more. At Western's Career Services, staff will help you seek employment, including assisting with job applications and updating your resume. Looking to stay active? Western's Wellness Center offers plenty of recreational activities to keep you active on campus. Western also has in house counseling services to help students be successful inside and outside the classroom. No matter the issue, Western is always looking to help students be successful.

I wish you the best of luck in your academic endeavors here at Western! Make everyday a great day.

Abdul Bolageh Cole Western Technical College Student Ambassador

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Please note that some of the following policies and procedures may be temporarily adjusted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions. Students will be notified of changes as required.

ACADEMIC FACULTY COACH Once you are enrolled in a program and have started college, you will be assigned a faculty member who will serve as your faculty coach. Your coach will help you with your goals, share helpful resources, problem solve, schedule the right classes, and generally help you be successful. To learn the name of your academic faculty coach, go to MyWestern/Self-Service/Class Schedule. Some faculty may not be listed. Contact your division office for further information.

ACADEMIC STANDING Western Technical College expects each student to maintain a level of academic achievement consistent with the college's academic standards and to make reasonable progress. The Academic Standing applies to students enrolled in technical diploma and associate degree level courses, but does not apply to students enrolled in GOAL developmental courses.

Students having difficulty maintaining good academic standing are encouraged to seek early assistance from their instructor(s), college advisor, the Western Learning Commons, Learner Support and Transition, and/or the Counseling Center.

Good Standing

A student achieving a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better at the end of a term of enrollment.

Academic Warning

A student will receive an Academic Warning if less than a 2.0 grade point average is achieved at the end of that term of enrollment. A student will be reinstated to good standing when the student achieves a 2.0 or better grade point average at the end of a term of enrollment.

If a student receives less than a 2.0 term grade point average for two consecutive terms, the student will be placed on academic suspension.

Academic Suspension

A student placed on academic suspension will be notified in writing and informed of the appeal process. If pre-registered for the upcoming term, the classes will be dropped. Students seeking re-entry will need to complete an academic suspension appeal.

Academic Probation

Should the suspension appeal be approved, a success plan will be cooperatively developed by the student and the Academic Dean. The first term the student returns, the student will be placed on Academic Probation. Successful completion of the plan will result in the student returning to good standing. If the student does not successfully complete the term with a 2.0 or above, the student will not be allowed to return for one year and must appeal at that time.
