CTE Dual Credit

A student earning CTE Dual Credit from SPSCC or Centralia College must earn a "B" grade or better. Students earning CTE Dual Credit from the Pierce County Consortium (Bates Technical College, Clover Park Technical College, Pierce College) must earn a "C" grade or better. 

Students pay no tuition for CTE Dual Credit classes and because students stay on their high school campus. A small fee may be due to obtain your college transcript. Interested students should contact their high school counselor.

Upon achievement of all criteria, instructors will assist students in registering for credit through the SERS Registration System.

After registering in SERS, students will need to request their college transcript. 

Not all CTE classes offer dual credit, but many of them do! You must be enrolled in an eligible CTE Dual Credit class to be eligible for college credit.
