What are Equivalency Credits?
• All programs at the skills center offer successful completers 1.5 Occupational or Elective credit per semester. Most of the programs at Tri-Tech Skills Center offer an equivalency credit option as well. All students enrolled in the program complete the work required for the equivalency credit whether they need it or not. Instructors keep grades for each of the equivalencies their program offers. These credits are reported each semester to the home high school. For a student to earn an equivalency credit they must successfully pass the program and equivalency portions of the curriculum and earn full credit for two consecutive semesters. The Technical English equivalency credit is based on a skills center wide curriculum, therefore students may earn the Technical English credit only once while at Tri-Tech.
