Enrolling in Technical Programs

All applications for admission to technical programs are reviewed by the appropriate faculty and administrative staff. The program teacher will interview you after you apply for a first-year technical program. You may bring your parents, teachers, School counselors, and or other adult advocates to your interview.

The number of students that can be admitted is limited in some cases by the number of teachers we have, the size of our shops, and the hazardous nature of some of our programs. In general, juniors are given preference for entry into the first-year sections of all technical programs. Acceptance into CDC programs and classes is based upon:

• A student’s interest.
• Academic grades.
• Attendance and discipline record.
• Prior enrollment and performance in CDC programs.
• Student ability to succeed in CDC programs.
• Program Teacher recommendation

For more information, see the Program of Studies. Admission to the second year of a technical program is based on the student’s performance during their first year
in that program and the recommendation of the teacher.
Please see the CDC Guidance Coordinator with questions and for information about admissions procedures and appeals.
