Direct Credit is the opportunity to earn college credit and high school credit for taking college-level courses while in high school. Some programs offered at the NCCTC are taught by an NCCTC instructor, who is an adjunct instructor for Muskegon Community College. In the Fall during the first semester a presentation is given to all programs who have Direct Credit available. Students are then given an application to fill out if they are interested in earning college credit while in high school. This allows students to concurrently enroll in an MCC course during regular CTC hours and receive a grade and credit on their college transcript. The Direct Credit cost of tuition, textbook(s), software, and other required materials will be paid by the NC RESA/Career-Tech Center.
In return for this opportunity, it is the student’s responsibility to maintain consistent attendance and complete all the assigned work for the course. Students who leave the CTC, drop their current program or fail to earn a credit earning grade may receive a failing grade or NC (no credit) on their college transcript.
