Tech Prep/Direct Credit

The Tech Prep program puts high schools students on the pathway to earning a degree from Clark College by allowing them to complete selected Career & Technical Education classes while still in high school. Tech Prep is a partnership between Clark College and participating area high schools allowing students to simultaneously earn high school and college credits that have been approved through a formal articulation agreement.

• Tech Prep students get a “jump start” on their college education and career plans.
• Tech Prep students save time and money by fulfilling degree requirements while still in high school.
• Tech Prep students are able to bypass entry level college courses when they register at a community college.
• Tech Prep credits are guaranteed at Clark College and may be used at another community college or university, dependent on their admission criteria. Or, you may enter the military at a higher rank.

• Enroll in a Tech Prep class at your high school. Talk to your teacher or Career Counselor if you’re unsure.
• Earn a grade of “B” or better. Some classes require additional tests.
• Register online. Registration will begin in December 2008.
• Print your registration form and mail it with a one-time $10 payment to Clark College Tech Prep by July 10, 2009.
