Tech Prep courses are a competency-based direct credit option for specific courses at several Community Colleges. This credit option allows SWHS students to enroll in specific Tech Prep high school courses and receive a Direct Transcript of college credit for those classes upon completion of college-approved competencies with a grade of B or better. Although regular tuition at Skagit Valley Community College, for example, is $82.20 per credit hour, SWHS students’ tuition there will be FREE. The Skagit-Island Prep Work Consortium provides the fee.
