Are there age or eligibility requirements for SLTATC courses?

Individuals high school age and older, living in Salt Lake and Tooele counties are eligible to enroll in most SLTATC courses. While there is not a mandatory minimum age, successful students are generally at least 16 years old or enrolled in the 10th grade. (We serve students down to the 9th grade, with the exception of the programs that have specific age requirements.) Certain medical programs require that a student be 18 and/or at least a senior in high school. Some national exams require a student to be 18 and a high school graduate before certification can be issued.

What if I am a home school or private school student?

As long as you meet the program's age requirement, you are eligible to enroll in ATC courses. Simply complete and submit an application for admission and make sure to specify that you are a home school or private school student. You may be asked to do placement testing to be sure you receive the maximum benefit from training. High school age students who desire to attend the SLTATC tuition-free must be registered with their local school district and enrolled in a public school.

How do I register?

Public high school students interested in enrolling in SLTATC programs and having the classes considered for their high school diploma should talk with their high school CTE Coordinator or counselor. Counselors have the appropriate application forms to complete in order for the class to appear on your high school transcript.

Adults, home school students, and private school students simply need to complete and submit an application form for admission. You may do this in person at our Salt Lake or Rose Park Campuses. You may also mail your application to the appropriate campus and a Student Services representative will contact you. You may be asked to do placement testing to be sure you receive the maximum benefit from training.

A detailed description of the registration process is available under How to Enroll.
