Career Technical Education (CTE) information
The following steps must be completed within one year of a student’s high school graduation.
- The student completes the entire Ohio CTE program of study.
- The student earns a “B” or better in the course(s) for which they are requesting credit.
- The student must complete a Stark State College admission application (free).
- Stark State receives the student’s final transcripts, with graduation date posted.
- The student submits the CTE form.*
- Academic credit “CR” will be posted once approved. The student will receive confirmation via their Stark State email.
The student follows the CTAG process from ODEW/ODHE and has three years from high school graduation to have credit added to their post-secondary transcript. Stark State College receives CTAV data from the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) and looks for enrolled students with high school transcripts on file. Once academic credit has been added to the Stark State College transcript, an email receipt is sent to the student’s Stark State email address. Students are encouraged to follow up if credits have not been posted within one week of the start of the semester by contacting techprep@starkstate.edu.
The student follows the ITAG process from ODEW/ODHE. After they’re admitted to Stark State College, they need to submit a copy of the credential via the CTE form.*
Please note: These forms are subject to change at any time.
