CTE College Credit: Students complete state-approved programs in CTE to earn postsecondary credit at no cost to the student. CTE College Credit is articulated credit, the high school coursework aligns to postsecondary courses, and the teacher of record is a high school CTE teacher. The CCF-856, Dual Credit Application, is not needed. Instead, students complete a separate application through the college of their choice (e.g. CSN). To qualify for the CTE College Credit, students must:  

• Earn a 3.0 GPA in the CTE course sequence,  

• pass the state end-of-program technical content assessment, and  

• pass the state Workplace Readiness assessment for employability skills. 

Families can use Campus Student/Parent Progress Report to track progress towards a CTE program (career tech program) online. Students that complete a CTE program of study according to the criteria are eligible to earn the CTE College Credit within three years of graduating from high school and upon admission to the postsecondary institution. The amount of credit is dependent upon the state standards for each high school CTE program and how the standards align to the college courses for a certificate or degree in a related career pathway.
