Tech Prep
Tech Prep is an articulation agreement between the Anchorage School District and post-secondary education institutions such as the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) and Art Institute of Seattle (AIS) or various trade organizations (TO)*. ASD students can earn lower division college credit when successfully completing high school tech/prep courses or other advancements with the trade organizations. With the ASD-UAA articulations, a small registration fee and successful completion of the ASD course will earn students a credit recorded on their permanent college transcript. College credits provide a head start toward a post-secondary certification or degree, are transferable to other universities or colleges, and activate the services for prospective students provided by the University’s Advising and Counseling Office.
