TECH PREP
Tech Prep is a partnership between Lake Washington
Institute of Technology, Tech Prep College Connections and
27 high schools. This partnership allows students taking
classes in a high school with courses that are articulated
with Lake Washington Institute of Technology to receive
college credit while attending their home high school.
Tech Prep College Connections staff visit the high schools
to enroll and register students in selected college courses.
College credit is awarded to students who receive a B
grade or higher in their high school courses.
Students who have received Tech Prep credit and
complete high school will be eligible to register as a
continuing student at the college. For more information
please see our website at www.lwtech.edu/techprep.
GATEWAY TO COLLEGE
Lake Washington Institute of Technology has been
selected to join a national network of community and
technical colleges to offer Gateway to College, a national
dropout recovery program originally developed by
Portland Community College in Oregon.
The Gateway to College program is for 16-20 year olds
who have either dropped out of high school or on the
verge of dropping out and are interested in returning
to school and completing their high school diploma.
Students simultaneously accumulate high school and
college credits, earning their high school diploma while
progressing toward a certificate, diploma, or associate
degree. Students selected to participate in the Gateway
to College program will receive a scholarship for tuition
and books. Enrollment is limited.
To be eligible for GTC students must:
