These credits do not affect a student's GPA and may not transfer to other post-secondary institutions.

Based on a bi-lateral agreement between a secondary partner and college, students may earn these letter grade credits by demonstrating proficiency in a college course taught by their Career Tech high school instructor through assessment(s) agreed upon by faculty. Credits are processed by the TechPrep office at the culmination of a student's high school experience and, with the student's permission, posted to their transcript with a letter grade.
