Competency Form filled out recommending they be awarded TP credit will not
be eligible for college credit regardless of the grade they made in the
class. We have students denied credit each year because there teacher failed
to fill out the Student Competency Forms by the deadline.

How to Recommend a Student for Credit:
Once you have logged into the system, with your username and password,
you are taken to your teacher menu page.
On this page click on View Classes / Competencies. This will
take you to your a page listing all of your approved classes.
Click on the blue arrow in the far right column, the one with the
numbers, and you will be taken to a page with your class roster.
At the far right of each students name you will see the word
View. Click on View to see the Student Competency Form for
that student.
Marking the Student Competency Form:
Does a teacher have to wait until finals are over to recommend a
student? The answer is NO, the Student Competency Form is
not a rating of the student’s performance on the high school portion of the
class work or their grade in the class. It is a reflection of their
performance on the items listed on the form and can be marked as the items
are covered throughout the year.
*****The student must have a grade of 80 or above and your
recommendation to he eligible for credit. The college registrar will
check both, and if the student doesn’t have both they will not be eligible
for TP credit.******
Does a teacher have to recommend students for credit if they make
better than an 80 in the course? The answer is NO,
it is your recommendation on the student’s ability to complete the items
listed on the Student Competency form. The items should be
evaluated against college work and are not evaluated on the high school
grade achieved. We have had students who have made a grade higher
than 94 on the high school portion of the course and not be recommended
for the college credit. This is rare, but applies in some cases,
this case the student was an excellent test taker but could not do the
college work on their own.
Students who
receive a modification to the college course syllabus should not
be recommended for college credit. You do not have to fill in the
marks 1-5 for these student's. Go to the bottom of the form and
click 'Not Recommended'. You must add a reason why they are not
recommended in the Comment Box if you do not mark the student.
We recommend something like this: Student received a modification
to the course syllabus.
(Students who have approved modifications in the following areas may
be eligible for Tech-Prep credit. Modifications in the time
allowed to take test, and complete assignments. Modifications in
text, handouts, and other printed materials including test.
Modifications in equipment including computers and school equipment.
If you have a question contact your Tech-Prep coordinator, Ann Brogger,
or the director, Katie Kucera.)
