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.
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.

See a counselor or advisor for details. Academic Co-Enrolled Program Career and Technical Education provides opportunities through the High School Co-Enrolled Program to assist high school students in obtaining credits needed for graduation. This assistance is offered to selected high school students through the Co-Enrolled Program. A high school student must be 16 years of age to be eligible to participate. High school guidance counselors can provide specific details about enrolling in this program. A referral from a guidance counselor is required. Youth Apprenticeship The Academy of Construction Technologies provides Youth Apprenticeship curriculum in electrical and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) trade areas. High school juniors and seniors attend a tech center as a dual enrollment student during the regular school year and are provided a paid summer on-the-job experience (OJT) between the junior and senior year. To be eligible for the Youth Apprenticeship program the student must: Be 16 years of age Have a GPA (grade point average) of 2.0 Be on track to graduate from high school Have good attendance and behavior records Have an interest in the trades During the first year, students are taught tool and work safety, CPR and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements. Working with certified instructors both in the classroom and lab, students are required to pass written and performance tests to show ability to perform safely and accurately the skills needed in the trade. Youth apprentices are given the opportunity to interview with one of 50 industry contractors for summer OJT experience. At the completion of their summer experience, students will receive one elective credit. Second year apprentices take an advanced apprenticeship course with the opportunity (if their high school schedule allows) to continue their OJT experience. At the successful completion of two years, the student may receive one year of credit in the corresponding trade adult apprenticeship program. These electives are applied to graduation requirements and the awarding of the home high school diploma. Adult High School Credit Eligible adult students may continue their pursuit of a traditional high school credit diploma or special diploma issued by the School Board of Orange County. High school students 16 years of age or older can participate in the Academic Co-Enrollee program to earn academic credits for graduation. High school or tech center guidance counselors can provide details and the required referral.
14
Future Opportunities High school graduates who have taken technical classes while in high school may continue at the tech center to complete the program. Scholarships may be available to graduating seniors who want to continue their program after high school. Local community colleges may award college credit for the portion of the program completed in high school.
15
Academic Readiness The Florida Department of Education, Division of Career and Adult Education, has established required grade equivalent levels for completions in all occupational programs through the use of state-approved basic skills assessments. Students may be co-enrolled in a certicate career education program and Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI) or enrolled in an adult basic education and/or VPI class for remediation. Counselors or advisors utilize these guidelines and may use other assessment means to identify the persons aptitudes and abilities for appropriate placement into an occupational program. Students without a high school diploma or equivalent will only be admitted into certicate career education programs that do not require a high school diploma. The students progress is monitored through instructor reports and periodic testing of basic academic skills. Progress reports, test scores and student training records are maintained in the students official record. Vocational Preparatory Instruction Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI) develops and upgrades the job-related, basic academic skills of students pursuing certificate career education training. The programs major objectives are to enhance the students potential to be successful in the certificate career education program and in employment in accordance with the Florida legislatures basic academic skills competency requirements. Students participate in VPI until achieving the required levels of competency in the basic academic skills areas of math, reading and/or language as documented by a state approved exam. Career Assessment Career Assessment is a systematic process of evaluating the career abilities, interests and aptitudes of the student in order to provide assistance in making informed decisions about a career choice. Career Counseling Counselors and advisors are available to assist with program information and career counseling. Students may receive assistance in the areas of career development, testing, test interpretation, financial assistance, and third party agency sponsors. Interpreter Services The sign language interpreter services are provided upon request to facilitate communication for students who are deaf/hearing impaired.

Media Center The media center services are decentralized and located in each program area. Students may check out books. The media center contains reference material that support the various career and adult education programs. Work-Based Learning Work-based learning incorporates the advantages of concentrated and structured workplace experiences to link and strengthen school-based learning. It can significantly benefit any student, regardless of the students future education and career plans, by broadening understanding of practical applications of academics and the variety of promising careers available in the workplace. Students complete basic competencies in class and then, through the use of a detailed training plan, continue to complete their programs through work experiences.
16
Work-based learning creates an opportunity for students to interact with professionals in the company. The student gains experience in an actual work setting, works daily with an adult mentor, learns about career options, gets first-hand exposure to materials and equipment used in business and industry. The student observes demonstrations of work processes, learns new technical skills, and develops self-confidence about his/her ability to succeed in a high-skill, high-wage job. Options vary by program and instructors can provide additional information. Workplace Readiness and Employability Skills Employability skills are a component of each certificate career education program. Students receive training in organizing a job search, completing job applications, preparing resumes and cover letters, and learning job interview techniques. The Ready to Work Credential is awarded by the state of Florida to anyone who has successfully passed the designated assessments. Any Florida student or resident is eligible, at no cost, to earn this credential and will be considered equipped with the skills needed to enter the workforce. Contact a tech center for details.

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.
