- mid-January: Decision Letters mailed. See getting your decision letter, below.
Application Process
Apply to the Career and Tech Center
- Click on the online application tab above to access the online application to the Career and Technology Center.
- Families without internet access should see their student's school counselor for assistance.
*Acceptance Is Based On ( see the program of studies for specific minimums)
- GPA
- Rigor of Coursework
- Attendance
- 11th grade status when entering a program
- Other criteria such as program specific requirements and prerequisites are also reviewed.
SPACE is limited In determining which students are accepted in a program that has more applicants than seats, we score each student's transcript by looking at their overall grade point average (GPA) and their attendance. Additionally, we look at their performance in specific English, math, social studies, and science courses with consideration given to the rigor of the courses. This process results in each student being assigned a rubric score. Students with the highest scores are placed in the program.
*No other demographic information is used in this selection process.
Applications are still accepted after the initial decisions are made. If openings are available or become available, ALL students on the wait list ,for that program, are reviewed.
Getting Your Decision Letter
10th graders who apply by Dec 1st should receive their decision letter by mid-January.
ACCEPTED
Students who are accepted will be automatically scheduled for their program by CCCTC. Your school counselor will work with you to fit your other classes into your junior and senior year.
CONDITIONALLY ACCEPTED
Students who are conditionally accepted will be automatically scheduled for their program, but they will be reminded of any prerequisites they must take prior to beginning their program. Please see the CCPS Program of Studies for prerequisites. Your school counselor will work with you to fit your other classes into your junior and senior year.
WAIT LIST
Students who are placed on a wait list are not scheduled for a program at this time due to one or both of the following reasons:
- There is not enough room in the program AND/OR
- The student does not presently meet the criterion to be at CCCTC as found in the Program of Studies
Note: As openings occur, prior to the beginning of a program, all students on the wait list are reevaluated for placement.
PROVISIONALLY ACCEPTED
Based on a review of a student's application and school records, a student may be given provisional status. Provisional status means a space in the program is being held, but, for the student to attend, the provisions of an agreement must be met. The purpose of these actions is to increase support and improve the student's level of success as they make the transition to Career and Tech.
