Spring 2008 Registration Process

Dear Tech Prep Liaison/Program Instructors:

Registration will take place January 14th through 25th.  Students need to have their Concurrent Enrollment Form (pdf) turned in to Tech Prep Liaisons no later than Friday morning 1-25-08. 

Steps to Registering Students

1. Liaison/Instructor provides a 5-10 minute presentation to high school classes that offer Tech Prep credit. 

   TECH PREP:  Students registered for a Tech Prep class will begin building a transcript at Lewis-Clark State College.  The credits earned under the Tech Prep program are technical college credits, not academic credits.  These credits will be most valuable to students with career goals in technical areas.  However, most colleges, including LCSC will accept these credits as elective credits which can be applied toward any future degree.  If a student wishes to transfer credits to another institution, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the receiving institution will accept technical credits as applicable to their major or as elective credit. 

   There is no cost to participate in Tech Prep.  To register, students must submit a Concurrent Enrollment Form to Lewis-Clark State College.  The student must be at least 16 years of age or have completed half of the high school graduation requirements.  Tech Prep policy requires a passing grade of “B” or better before credit is awarded.   Students failing to meet the grade requirement will be withdrawn from the college class and a grade of "W" (withdrawn) will be recorded on the student’s LCSC official transcript.  Although this "W" will not affect your G.P.A, multiple withdrawn courses are not an attractive college transcript.  You may contact the Tech Prep office by phone (208) 792-2418 or e-mail techprep@lcsc.edu.
    

2. During the presentation, Liaison informs students of Tech Prep benefits and registration requirements, and assists in filling out the Concurrent Enrollment Form.
   
   Liaison/Instructor will read the following:
    
   1. BENEFIT - College Savings:
      - Per credit price at LCSC is $204; however, Tech Prep credit is FREE.
       

2. REQUIREMENTS - Registration:
   - Students must be 16 years of age or half way through their coursework to register for college credit.
   -  Students must receive a passing grade of  a "B" or better before credit is awarded.
    
3. Concurrent Enrollment Form:
   -  This form must be filled out entirely for each semester a student takes a  class.
   -  Special emphasis should be placed on student signature, parent signature, social security number, and student birth date.

3. Liaison announces registration deadline for the morning of Friday, January 25th.  
4. Liaison follows up with students' last week of registration (1-22-08 thru 1-25-08).  
5. Liaison gathers all Tech Prep forms from students and faxes them to (208) 792-2568, if there are fewer than 15 forms.  Please call or e-mail the Tech Prep Coordinator to verify receipt of fax.  If you have more than 15, call the Tech Prep Coordinator to schedule a pick-up.  DO NOT MAIL FORMS.
