example: local CTE courses The 4-year plan can include other CTE courses that logically
keyboarding fit into a student's coherent sequence of courses but do not
other CTE courses articulate into college credit.
Students enrolling in this degree program at South Plains College, or any other participating community college, must fill out a form
in the registrar's office requesting that their Tech Prep course(s) be added to their college transcript. Credit will be added to the transcript
upon completion of 6 college hours. There is no fee for this at South Plains College.
Some high schools offer Advanced Technical Credit courses that articulate to participating community colleges. ATC courses
may be taught in addition to (or as well as) the above tech prep courses. ATC high school teachers must have the ATC training
certificate on file at their high school before the PEIMS codes may be used for the ATC courses.
Schools do not have to offer ATC courses in order to receive Tech Prep credit.
