What Is Direct Credit?
Tech Prep Direct Credit allows students to earn both high school and college credit for completing high school courses. For earning a grade of "B" (3.0) or higher in select high school classes, students can earn community/technical college credits. Credits are posted to transcripts during the summer following the school year in which they were earned. To qualify, students must meet specific requirements established by the college and high school instructors.
