Initiatives of your choice.

Visiting the College Tech Prep Initiatives of your choice
will be a VERY important step in this process. It is

two year commitment.

If you were ill on the visitation date, please see your
school counselor to arrange for an independent visitation.

If you apply before you have attended the visitation day–
PLEASE log back into your application and update the
question asking if you have visited. Please remember that
the “visitation” is highly valued by the screening and
placement committee during their consideration.
