High School Students

High school students may enroll and attend day or evening courses during the school year and/or during the summer after qualifying through their local school. If you are interested in taking classes, you can initiate the enrollment process by contacting the Career and Technical Education Coordinator at your high school.  You must be 16 years of age and have completed your sophomore year.

If the cumulative grade point average (GPA) is less than 3.0, the student must test prior to entering the tech college. High school students may also participate in the Apprenticeship programs with a voucher from the sponsoring high school Career and Technical Education Coordinator. Home and private schooled students may be authorized through their local school district.

Please be aware that not all programs are available to high school students and some programs have additional enrollment requirements.

Steps to Enrollment

If your cumulative GPA is above 3.0 you can use the following procedure:

  1. Talk to the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Coordinator at your high school about attending Ogden-Weber Tech College. The technical education options at the tech college will be explained.
  2. Review your transcript with the CTE Coordinator to determine if any of your high school classes will transfer to the tech college. These classes will be listed on the Ogden-Weber Tech College enrollment authorization form.
  3. Schedule an appointment with a tech college counselor through your CTE Coordinator for medical or dental programs.
    Otherwise, bring:

    1. High school transcript
    2. Ogden-Weber Tech College enrollment authorization form
  4. Meet with an Enrollment Advisor to complete the enrollment process.  The enrollment office is open 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday for new enrollments.
  5. Attend orientation.

Fee Waiver

Students who currently receive a fee waiver at their high school may also receive a fee waiver for many of the programs at the tech college by obtaining a letter from their CTE Coordinator. The letter must be on school letterhead indicating that the student qualifies for the fee waiver. The student must bring the letter to the Enrollment Office during registration.

Concurrent Enrollment

The tech college offers several courses that are eligible for concurrent enrollment with Weber State University. In order to participate in the concurrent enrollment program, students must obtain a concurrent enrollment packet from the instructor listed for the class they will be enrolling in. These courses apply to future, current, and/or those not older than one year from the completion date.
