There is no cost to the student or their family. All tuition, books, and fees are paid for by PVACC while the student is enrolled in P-TECH.

PVACC P-TECH students will take all courses on campus their freshman year. Beginning their sophomore year, students will be taking classes through dual enrollment at Del Mar College.

1.3 STUDENT COHORTS

P-TECH students are placed in a cohort for core classes to the extent possible, although this does not exclude non P-TECH students from enrolling in the same class.

1.4 FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING

The P-TECH program provides flexible, individualized scheduling that allows students to earn their high school diploma in addition to the opportunity to earn up to 60 credit hours along with industry-based certifications for their selected career pathway.

1.5 TSIA TESTING SITE

PVACC is a Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA) assessment site and will provide opportunities throughout the year for students to take the TSIA assessment.
