COLLEGE CREDIT FOR CTE COURSES

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.  See below for more details on college credit options.

ADVANCED TECHNICAL CREDIT (ATC)

Advanced Technical Credit (ATC) 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 click here.

DUAL CREDIT AND CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT

Dual Credit and Continuing Education courses are taken while a student is enrolled in high school at the TJC West campus. Upon successful completion of the course(s), the student will receive high school credit and college or continuing education credit at TJC. In order to enroll in TJC courses, the student must satisfy the following requirements prior to registering with TJC:

     • Auto Intro Transp: SDRT (Standard Diagnostic Reading Test)
     • Automotive, CISCO, Welding: TJC’s Accuplacer test (score of 51 or
       higher on the reading section)
     • All TJC Courses: student must pass all sections of the high school
       TAKS tests

TISD will pay the student’s tuition for these courses while the student is enrolled in TISD. Transportation will be provided to the TJC West Campus by TISD. Listed below are the TJC courses in which students may earn dual credit or continuing education credit while enrolled in TISD:
