What if I have credit deficiencies or poor attendance?

The ultimate goal is that all students graduate. Our MVCTC school counselors will be reviewing your application to decide the best educational experience depending on the severity of deficiencies.  Students who do have credit deficiencies and/or poor attendance may be required to participate in Project PASS.  They will be required to submit plans for making up the credit deficiencies and/or sign an attendance pledge if the student is admitted to MVCTC.

When will I find out if I have been accepted to MVCTC?

Partner school counselors pick up acceptance notices at the Spring (by mid-April) Partner School Counselors' Meeting at MVCTC. The counselors then distribute the information to their students. After the initial review, status letters will be mailed.

What is the daily schedule at MVCTC?

Students attend MVCTC from 8:05 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. each day. The school day consists of hands-on career technical program training, English, science, social studies, math, and elective classes. Click here to see the academic course descriptions.

Do I need to have my own transportation every day?
