?? Frequently Asked Questions ??

 
Who is eligible for Adult or Post Graduate Programs?
Any resident adult may apply for programs in the Connecticut Technical High School System. Typically, adult students have completed high school or GED programs.

How long is the Program?
The Program begins in August and lasts 10 months until June.

What will it cost?
Students pay a $50.00 non-refundable registration fee each school year they are in attendance. Tuition varies by program. In 2008-2009, most programs' tuition is $1350.00 per semester, which is required to be paid in full on or before the first class session in each semester. Contact the school's Regional Assistant Principal for more specific information.

Is there Financial Aid?
Full-time Adult students may apply for Federal Pell Grants, Veteran's waivers, VA benefits, and Senior Citizen's waivers. The school does not participate in any Federal student loan programs.

 Will I be treated like a high school student?
We prefer to treat adults as adults. However, adult students are expected to comply with school rules such as no smoking, attendance policies and procedures, etc. We find that adults realize the value of the training opportunity and are willing to comply with reasonable rules. Adult students are typically role models for our youngsters.

How do I apply?
Call 1-800-822-6832 or contact the Technical High School near you. 

What about transportation?
The Connecticut Technical High School System does not supply transportation to their schools. Some towns allow adult students to ride their town bus with the high school kids. You can contact the bus coordinator in your town to see if that is possible.
