CREDIT OPTIONS
A major benefit of being a partner with the Miami Valley Tech Prep Consortium and Sinclair Community College is the opportunity for Tech Prep students to earn college credit at no cost to them. There are 4 types of Sinclair Tech Prep Credit:
MVTPC ARTICULATED CREDIT (AA)
Based on a bi-lateral agreement between a secondary partner and Sinclair, students may earn these Pass/Fail credits by completing the curriculum, skill and, if applicable, receiving a certification or credential. Credits are posted as ‘AA’ and do not affect a student’s Sinclair GPA.
MVTPC PROFICIENCY CREDIT (PR)
Students may earn these letter grade credits by demonstrating proficiency in a Sinclair Course taught by their Career Tech high school instructor. These credits do affect a student’s Sinclair GPA.
CTAG
Career Technical Assurance Guide (CTAG) is structured by the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE). Credits are earned by completion of assessments specific to the course.
ITAG
Industry-Recognized Credentials Transfer Assurance Guides (ITAG) award college credit for students who earn approved industry-recognized credentials and pass required technical assessments.
