ADMISSIONS
General Admission Policies and Procedures OCPS tech centers admit as postsecondary (adult) students those individuals who have completed their secondary school education or who are beyond the age of compulsory attendance. Adult students in the career certificate or adult general education programs pay an annual $27.50 application fee. High school students are also admitted to the tech centers if they are 16 years of age or older and participate in the dual enrollment program or the GED Exit Option. Our goal is to provide each individual applicant with the necessary information and services to make realistic educational and career choices. Services include career information, career assessment, financial assistance and registration information. All tech centers comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1973 and strictly adhere to the nondiscrimination policy adopted by the School Board of Orange County. Reasonable accommodations can be made for special needs students. The admission process should be initiated at the tech center that the student plans to attend to avoid the requirement for additional application fees. Applicants having the interest and ability to benefit from a career training program are accepted on a nondiscriminatory basis. The prerequisites of programs may vary due to occupational requirements, licensing regulations and/or School Board policy. Licensure programs that require a high school diploma for entry do not accept either correspondence diplomas or diplomas from non-regionally accredited schools. Foreign diplomas are evaluated at the district office. An applicant of a health science program that requires a clinical experience training component in a hospital, nursing home or other health care facility must submit to a Level I criminal background check and may be required to submit to a Level II criminal background check as well as a drug screening test in some cases, in accordance with requirements set forth by The Joint Commission (TJC) and the Jessica Lunsford Act. The applicant is responsible for paying these costs even though the results may prevent enrollment into required clinical training experiences in these facilities. Other licensure programs may also require drug screenings or fees for liability or other insurance. Applicants are responsible for paying these costs. For additional admissions information, contact a counselor or advisor in the tech center Student Services Department or Office of Admissions.

ADULT STUDENT ADMISSIONS


Adult Student Enrollment Processes and Options Prior to starting classes admission policies require that all applicants: Take the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE), where applicable. Test scores are valid for two years. Where not specified in law or rule, OCPS tech centers follow technical assistance recommendations established by the Florida Department of Education, Division of Career and Technical Education and other regulatory agencies. Complete any required additional steps and/or formal interview with an additional staff member for admission. Register for program, apply for financial assistance and/or pay fees (advisor or counselor will provide admission dates and current costs). Complete the orientation process. Students seeking to enroll in a technical program who are exempt from basic skills assessment include those who possess a college degree at the associate in applied science (AAS) level or higher; have successfully completed or are exempt from the college-level communication and computation skills examination pursuant to s. 1008.29, F.S.; are exempt from the college entrylevel examination pursuant to s. 1008.29, F.S.; or are enrolled in an apprenticeship program that is registered with the Department of Education in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 446. Florida Statutes. Also accepted are official transcripts providing proof of acceptable forms of other assessments. Academic Assessment The Florida Legislature mandates that each student enrolled in a career certificate/diploma program must meet required basic academic skills levels in mathematics, language and reading in order to receive a Certicate of Completion or an Applied Technology Diploma. Students must take a state-approved basic skills assessment which measures basic academic skills levels; typically the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE). The assessment is diagnostic rather than a pass or fail type of test and results are reflected in grade levels equivalencies, kindergarten through 12th grade. If a student has previously earned a degree (or is taking only one course), basic skills assessment may not be required. By providing all post high school educational documentation to the admissions staff, the need for basic skills assessment can be determined. After completing the basic skills assessment, a counselor or advisor reviews the results and develops an individual education plan with the student. Adult Education Students enrolling in Adult Basic Education or GED classes take the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE) assessment in reading, math and language before being placed in a class. Students enrolling in Adult English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes take the Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System (CASAS) Life and Work Series before being placed in a class. Both assessments are diagnostic in nature and results are reviewed by a counselor or advisor then used to determine program placement. General Education Development (GED) Testing Earn a State of Florida High School Diploma by successfully passing the General Educational Development (GED) test. The GED tests skills in Language Arts Writing, Language Arts Reading, Social Studies, Science and Mathematics.
10

Obtain an overall score of 2250 on the GED test and an average of 450 in each section (with no score lower than 410 on any section) to be eligible to receive a State of Florida High School Diploma. To be eligible for the GED test, you must be 18 years of age or have been granted special permission at age 16 or 17 and hold a valid government identification (Photo ID) document. The following documents are accepted: Valid Florida or out-of-state Driver's License Valid Florida ID Card Valid Passport (up-to-date picture, not expired) Military ID (not expired) Government issued documents that include all these items: (Name of person Photograph Address Date of Birth Signature of person shown) The GED test is given at Mid Florida Tech. Examinees must register in person at any OCPS tech center campus and pay by cash or money order, a non-refundable $70.00 test fee for the full test battery. Please call tech centers for specific registration times, locations and GED test dates or call 407.317.3985 for recorded information, or visit www.ReinventMe.net. (Test dates and fees subject to change). Registration is on a first come-first served basis and testing capacity is limited. Examinees who do not meet State of Florida requirements on their initial testing may retest in the areas that are unsatisfactory. A new registration and test fee is required. During a calendar year, examinees that have made three attempts and have not obtained a total score of 2250 along with a standard score of 410 on each of the subtests cannot test until the following year.

Special accommodation testing is available for individuals with a disability that would prevent taking the test under standard conditions. Contact the local GED Chief Examiner at 407.317.3200 ext. 2646 for more information. Testing in Spanish is available once a month. Contact the GED Office at 407.317.3200 ext. 2645 or 2882.

SECONDARY STUDENT ADMISSIONS


Secondary Student Enrollment Processes and Options High school students should start the tech center admissions process by visiting with their high school guidance counselor. Dual Enrollment OCPS tech centers provide students with the opportunity to take technical classes (electives) while obtaining the required academic courses at the home high school. Students typically earn two or three credits per year by enrolling in a three-hour technical program at one of the four centers. Students who have completed credits in comparable technical courses at their high school may be given credit for those competencies enabling them to begin their technical program at an advanced level. Students may consult with their high school guidance counselor for additional information. Students who participate in a technical program of study through dual enrollment receive industry-level training in work-environment labs and may opt to participate in externships. Dual enrollment students may earn a certificate of completion and future college credits through an articulated program and are eligible to apply for scholarships for postsecondary training. To be eligible for dual enrollment a student must: Be 16 years of age by the time school starts in August Possess a 2.0 grade point average Be on target for graduation and able to fit electives into half of the scheduled day Have good attendance and discipline records Consult with home high school guidance counselor and complete an application Return parent permission forms with all signatures Demonstrate readiness for career-level coursework using accepted assessment criteria Meet all admissions requirements in a program in which space is available, and be registered by a counselor Attend an orientation at the tech center Obtain a parking permit if driving to campus Be responsible for consumable costs and lab donations for supplies as specified by individual programs Show proof of medical insurance upon enrollment Dual-enrolled students attend class part-time at their home school and enroll part-time in a career education program at a tech center campus or in one of the tech center programs located at a high school. Dual-enrolled students are exempt from paying tuition. Career Pathways This program offers students the opportunity to focus on secondary technical electives that will help train them for high skill, high wage occupations. At the same time, students can begin earning community college credits while attending high school. Students should take higher level academic courses while in this program and to maintain a C or better grade point average. See a high school counselor.

Campus Safety and Security Each center has a security plan and security personnel. The cooperation and involvement of every member of staff, student body, and all visitors on campus are absolutely necessary to ensure maximum safety and security of individuals and personal belongings. Drills will be conducted throughout the year to ensure everyone knows how to conduct themselves during an emergency. Campus Crisis Plan In the event of an extreme, dangerous situation, involving people in a life or death conflict, actual death or hostage, a comprehensive plan of action is in place at each campus to deal with such matters. This will be reviewed during student orientation or by classroom teachers during the first week of class. Should the need arise, notify the instructor or nearest staff member immediately. Federal Drug-Free School Act Federal legislation has been passed as part of the war on drugs. This legislation is intended to convey to students of any institution receiving federal funds (contracts, grants, student financial aid, etc.) the health risks which exist for those who abuse alcohol or drugs. In addition, penalties for those who violate school standards must be in place and consistently enforced. State law prohibits the consumption and/or possession of alcoholic beverages by persons younger than 21 years of age. The sale of alcoholic beverages to persons younger than 21 years of age is also prohibited. Tech Center Drug-Free School Summary Statement Standards of conduct and disciplinary sanctions to be imposed for the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by tech center students on school property or as part of any of its activities will be enforced. The unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession or use of a controlled substance or the unlawful possession and use of alcohol is wrong, harmful, and prohibited in or on Orange County Public School owned and controlled property or as part of any of its activities. Any tech center student determined to have violated this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action for misconduct. No student is to report to class or any school activity while under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol. Violation of these policies by a student will be reason for disciplinary action up to and including termination/expulsion, and/ or referral for prosecution consistent with local, state, and federal law. Source of text: Schools Without Drugs, U.S. Dept. of Education. In order to comply with the Federal Drug-Free Schools Act, the following descriptions are listed: Health Risks Associated with the Use of Illicit Drugs and Alcohol Abuse Every drug, including alcohol, is a potential poison which may cause disability and death if it is taken incorrectly into the body, consumed in wrong amounts or mixed indiscriminately with other drugs. Drugs cause physical and emotional dependence. Drugs and their harmful side effects can remain in the body long after use has stopped. The extent to which a drug is retained in the body depends on the drugs chemical composition, that is whether or not it is fat-soluble. Fat-soluble drugs such as marijuana, phencyclidine (PCP), and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) seek out and settle in the fatty tissues. As a result, they build up in the fatty parts of the body such as the brain and reproductive system. Such accumulations of drugs and their slow release over time may cause delayed effects weeks, months and even years after drug use has stopped. There are many health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol including organic damage; impairment of brain activity, digestion, and blood circulation; impairment of physiological processes and mental functioning; and, physical and psychological dependence. Such use during pregnancy may cause spontaneous abortion, various birth defects or fetal alcohol syndrome. Additionally, the illicit use of drugs increases the risk of contracting hepatitis, AIDS and other infections.

ACADEMIC GED PREP


MISSION The mission of this program is to prepare students for academic and personal success through obtaining the necessary skills required to pass the official GED Test and be awarded a State of Florida High School Diploma. DESCRIPTION GED tests were first developed in 1942 as a means to allow World War II veterans to complete high school.

ACADEMIC VOCATIONAL PREPARATORY INSTRUCTION


MISSION The mission of Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI) has been consistent throughout its brief history; that is, to enable the participants to succeed in vocational education and to become gainfully employed. DESCRIPTION The VPI program is designed to improve the probability of succeeding in the workplace for the vocational student whose lack of academic skills, knowledge, or positive attitude may have prevented success. The program begins by measuring the students basic skills and deficiencies (diagnosis); then develops an instructional prescription to remediate identified deficiencies based on the students learning style (prescription); and provides individualized instruction in the following four broad areas (remediation); along with constant feedback (evaluation). VPI provides for a diagnostic assessment of learning deficiencies and individualized prescriptive instruction and guidance for students who need special assistance to succeed in vocational education. The basic program encompasses a combination of instructional components consisting of reading, mathematics, language, critical thinking skills, complementary (life) skills, and workplace readiness skills. The VPI program is characterized by open entry/open exit, self-paced instructional modules related to the students occupational goal and learning styles, flexible scheduling, and performance-based (non-graded) evaluation. PROGRAM OF STUDY VPI incorporates the following areas of instruction:
1) Basic Skills (reading, mathematics, and language) 2) Academic Skills, as needed (science, social studies, and advanced math) 3) Workforce Readiness Skills (interviewing, resume writing, job-seeking

and job-keeping skills, SCANS, etc.) etc.)

4) Complementary Skills (study skills, test-taking skills, note-taking skills, life skills, 5) Occupational Exploration (optional, but recommended) These areas of instruction are

designed to enable students to benefit from occupational training. On an individual basis, help is given in setting goals, assessing learning difficulties, and prescribing learning modules to satisfy the needs of the student who would not otherwise be successful in a regular vocational program.

OUTCOME The desired outcome of VPI is to enable students to succeed in vocational education and subsequent employment. This is accomplished through participation in VPI components designed to remedy individual academic deficiencies. Throughout the remediation process, academic concepts relevant to the workplace are emphasized and vocational courses are coordinated with academic instruction. Upon completion of their individual academic prescription, students progress into or continue with their desired technical program. COST Most students enrolled in Adult General Education courses are fee-exempt. This includes: (1) a student who does not have a high school diploma or its equivalent, or (2) a student who has a high school diploma or its equivalent and who has academic skills below the ninth grade level as measured by the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE).
