CTE DUAL ENROLLMENT DUAL 

Orange County Tech Colleges together with Orange County High Schools provide students with the opportunity to enroll in technical college classes while taking required academic courses at the home high school. 

Students typically earn three credits per year by enrolling in a three-hour technical program at one of the tech colleges. Students who have completed credits in comparable technical courses at their high schools may be given credit for those competencies, enabling them to begin their technical program at an advanced level. School bus transportation is provided from the high school to the tech college and back to the high school. 

Students receive industry-level training in work-environment labs. Dual enrollment students are exempt from paying tuition, but there will be a $40-$60 supply fees charged for participation in the technical programs.
