High School Students

I want to...

Special Admission was designed in coordination with the local high school to serve the needs of students within South Lake Tahoe and nearby areas. Students enrolled in grades 9-12 must be recommended by their principal or high school counselor to take advanced scholastic and/or vocational coursework. The recommendation is subject to approval by LTCC's counselors. Consent by a parent or guardian is also required. Some courses may have restrictions based on age, grade level, or assessment standards. As a general rule, no students below grade 9 will be allowed to enroll in college courses.

One way LTCC’s partnership with South Tahoe High School is fundamentally supporting student success is through a program called Dual Enrollment. This free program offers local high school students an opportunity to earn college and high school credits simultaneously. All LTUSD students are welcome to participate in the program, which begins by taking Healthy Lifestyle Choices during 9th grade.

Dual enrollment is a wonderful opportunity for high school students to get ahead on college credits, fulfill high school graduation requirements, and ultimately save money. All dual enrollment courses take place at South Tahoe High School during the regular scheduled day.

We've already seen success from the Dual Enrollment program and ongoing TRiO program partnerships between LTCC and LTUSD, and LTCC is committed to seeking more opportunities for us to work together to support the educational goals and needs of local youth.
