earning college credit in high school. HIGH SCHOOL DUAL CREDIT ACADEMIES 1 i chippewa Valley
Dual Credit Education High School Academies High School Academies are a series of courses that lead into a degree program. Academies are designed to meet high school needs with broad goals of offering program exploration, a recognized industry credential or embedded technical diploma, or up to a full semester of an associate degree program. High School Academies can be offered at a CVTC campus or at the high school location. Academies may include any combination of Transcripted Credit or Youth Options course sections. Youth Options Youth Options allows public high school juniors and seniors who meet certain requirements to take courses at CVTC. Approved courses count toward high school graduation and college credit. The school board must pay for any course (including tuition, books and fees) that is taken for high school credit and that is not comparable to a course offered in the school district. Your students are eligible if the student has completed 10th grade with good academic standing, met any course prerequisites, has written approval from a parent or guardian, and has no history of disciplinary problems. For High School Academies, a special Youth Options section can be contracted to meet specific high school scheduling needs. Transcripted Credit Transcripted credit courses are CVTC courses that are taught in high schools by certified high school teachers using the technical college competencies and grading scale. Students who choose to enroll in a transcripted credit course will earn both high school and college credit simultaneously. High school teachers can become certified to teach Transcripted Credit courses in their high school if they meet both the current DPI licensing requirements and the certification requirements of the Higher Learning Commission and Wisconsin Technical System.
