High School Classes Approved for College Credit (Tech Prep)
Tech Prep is a program offered in cooperation between the UAF Community & Technical College and other educational institutions that allow high school or vocational/technical education students to earn credits toward a certificate and/or degree by completing classes in their high school or vocational technical education institution that have been approved for college credit by Îçҹ̽»¨.
Outside Credit
It is possible for high school students to use UAF course credits to meet high school graduation requirements. An Outside Credit Request form is available at high school counseling offices or through the school district main office. The approval for outside credit is given on a course-by-course basis and does not require admission to the university. Students must consult their appropriate school district officials and school counselors for approval PRIOR to registration if they wish to use the university courses to meet high school graduation requirements. See your high school counselor for additional information.
