ADMISSION PROCEDURES & REQUIREMENTS 

Your decision to enroll in a technical program is an important one, and it deserves a great deal of thought and investigation on your part.  To help you make the decision, we think you should carefully consider your plans for the future to see if a technical program can help you achieve your goals.

PER STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION: VERMONT STATUTE 2371- ENTITLEMENT TO TECHNICAL EDUCATION:

A student’s regular high school schedule or program shall be adjusted as necessary to ensure that there are not barriers to enrolling in a technical education program. Graduation requirements in excess of state minimum requirements shall be adjusted when, through no fault of the student, they present a barrier to enrollment in the technical education program. 

To be considered for placement, applicants must meet the following criteria: 

1. All students attending a high school served by River Bend Career & Technical Center (RBCTC) (Blue Mountain, Oxbow, Rivendell, Thetford, & Woodsville) may apply for placement through their school counselor. Students who are home schooled or attending an independent school may apply directly through RBCTC’s Guidance Coordinator.
2. Any Vermont resident of the sending or host community who does not have a high school diploma may apply to attend RBCTC through the high school they reside or directly through the RBCTC’s Assistant Director.
3. Any Vermont resident with a high school diploma may apply to RBCTC on a space available basis by contacting the Assistant Director.
4. New Hampshire residents with or without a high school diploma may contact the Assistant Director about financial aid and tuition costs.             

If you decide to enroll in a technical program, you must:

1. Visit the technical program.

2. Meet with your guidance counselor.  He or she can help you select all the appropriate courses that will help you attain your goals.

2. Complete the RBCTC application by March 31, 2010. 

The following criteria, when considered together, can determine placement in a RBCTC program:

2. Cumulative grade point average Freshman and Sophomore courses.
3. Attendance records for the Freshman and Sophomore grades.

2. Sending school ratios, as appropriate or necessary. 

For a student to continue into the second year of a program, a first year student must maintain a least a “C” and not have violated the RBCTC’s minimum attendance policy. Program instructors may recommend a student who may not meet these criteria. A specific contract may be required by the Guidance Coordinator to ensure that the student and teacher agree to specific goals for the student’s success. 

In the case of an over subscription to a program a Placement Committee will be formed composed of the following people to determine enrollment for the program based on the Admissions Requirements and Procedures: the Guidance Coordinator, Instructor of the Program, Director or Assistant Director, Student Services Coordinator, and (optional) an Advisory Committee Member from the program. Student interviews for program placement may be scheduled, if necessary, as determined by the Placement Committee.
