ADVANCED TECHNICAL CREDIT/DUAL CREDIT

TISD students who are enrolled in Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses have the ability to earn junior college, community college, or technical college credit through two different methods: Advanced Technical Credit for CTE Courses (ATC/CTE) and Dual Credit CTE Courses.

ADVANCED TECHNICAL CREDIT

ATC/CTE Courses:  Advanced Technical Credit courses for CTE provide the opportunity for high school students to earn college credit at numerous participating junior colleges, community colleges, and technical schools in all 50 states!  ATC/CTE courses are college level courses taught in high school in which the student can transfer (articulate) the high school credit to a participating junior college, community college, or technical school. 

In order to transfer (articulate) the credit to a participating college,  the student must have a minimum passing grade, pay a small processing fee, and show their official high school transcript at the time of college registration (please check with your individual college for additional articulation requirements, grade requirements, and processing fee.)  It is recommended that students contact the college prior to assuming that articulated credit will be accepted.  For additional information on ATC/CTE courses, please visit the following website:

DUAL CREDIT

Dual Credit CTE Courses:  Taken while in high school at the Tyler Junior College campus and/or the TJC West campus.  Upon successful completion of the course (grade 70 or higher), the student will receive high school credit and college credit at TJC. In order to enroll in dual credit courses, the student will need to pass the following entrance exams at TJC prior to registration:

  • Criminal Justice: THEA or Accuplacer (Seniors: reading portion only of THEA or Accuplacer);  (Juniors: all sections)

  • Automotive, HVAC, PC Support, and Welding: Accuplacer (score of 51 or higher on the reading section

  • AutoIntroTransp: SDRT (Standard Diagnostic Reading Test)

TISD will pay the student’s TJC tuition for the following courses while the student is enrolled in TISD. Transportation will be provided to the TJC West Campus by TISD. Below are TJC courses in which students may earn dual credit (high school and college credit) while enrolled in TISD:
