Other Considerations

• All CTE programs integrate a math and an English curriculum

• If the student is sponsored by an agency or business, BOCES reports attendance and grades to the sponsoring agency or funding source

• High School credit is only recommended for students enrolled in a school district

• College credit is not available

Enrollment Process

• In order to be considered for enrollment, adult students must submit an application for the program of their choice at the location of their choice (please download the application under Related Files below) and sign a commitment contract.

• Upon receipt of application and commitment contract, adult applicants will be placed in a lottery for a seat in the program.

• If adult students do not receive a seat in their program of choice after the lottery, they will be placed on a waiting list for subsequent lotteries.

• Adult students will meet with a CTE counselor after their application is received. If the adult student has an Individual Education Plan (IEP), the IEP must be provided at this time. 

• The adult student must sign a payment agreement or provide verification from a sponsoring agency prior to starting class.
