High School Programs

Information for Educators

Skagit Valley College’s CTE Dual Credit program is a cooperative program between local school districts and Skagit Valley College (SVC). This dual credit program allows 9th through 12th grade students the opportunity to earn SVC college credit while simultaneously earning high school credit in approved high school courses. Courses are college-level and equivalent to SVC courses in outcomes, instruction, and pedagogy. Students who enroll in the program and satisfy course requirements will have their coursework posted to an SVC transcript with the grade they earned in the course.

Eligibility

  • Certificated teachers must be endorsed in CTE with the appropriate V-code to offer CTE Dual Credit courses.
  • The college and school district must have a contract in place (interlocal agreement), or commit to signing one in the future.
  • The high school course must be equivalent to the SVC course, including but not limited to: meeting the College's course outcomes, grading standards, theoretical, and pedagogical standards.

Course Articulation Process

To articulate a course for CTE Dual Credit:

  1. Please fill out SVC's CTE Dual Credit Articulation Inquiry Form
    1. Review the SVC course catalog to record which SVC course you are interested in articulating. 
  2. SVC Dual Credit staff will review the Inquiry Articulation Request Form, follow-up with any questions and send the CTE Dual Credit Articulation Request Form with the SVC portion filled in.
  3. The high school teachers or dual credit staff should submit the CTE Dual Credit Articulation Request Form and necessary attachments to cte@skagit.edu  or ali.holmes@skagit.edu for review.
  4. The SVC CTE Dual-Credit team will route the articulation to the appropriate SVC faculty for review. If any changes are necessary to move forward with articulation, the faculty will reach out to the high school directly. In some cases the SVC faculty may request to meet with high school faculty to evaluate the classroom space to confirm the classroom has the necessary technology to articulate the course.
  5. Once the SVC faculty has reviewed and if approved, the SVC Dual-Credit team will route for final signatures.
