Dual Enrollment Occupational/Technical Programs

The Region 2000 Tech Prep Consortium supports and promotes dual enrollment in a wide variety of Career Technical Education programs. Dual enrollment agreements are a type of articulation agreement that provide students with both high school and college credits at the completion of the high school class. Over the last year, students in the region have received dual enrollment in the following career paths:

On-Campus Dual Enrollment

Each academic year, CVCC offers dual enrollment programs in welding, machine tool and HVAC on the CVCC campus. These programs are open to a limited number of high school seniors.

Dual enrollment students in these programs attend classes at CVCC Monday through Friday from 7:30 until 10:00 a.m. on the same academic calendar as regularly enrolled CVCC students. The schools districts offer bus transportation from the high schools to CVCC. The program covers a full academic year. Students who successfully complete the two-semester sequence earn up to eighteen hours of college credit. In addition to taking a sequence of technical courses all students must take Applied Technical Mathematics I & II (MTH 103 - 104), or a higher order of difficulty, two-semester mathematics sequence. The Applied Technical Mathematics sequence is not required of students dually enrolled in CISCO Networking or Emergency Medical Technician course work.

To be eligible to participate, a student must be a rising senior, have his or her principal's written permission to attend CVCC, apply for admissions to CVCC and pass the mathematics portion of the COMPASS placement test with a score that permits enrolling in Applied Technical Mathematics I (MTH 103).
