Currently enrolled in CTE classes? Deadline is Feb. 3 to complete registration for dual college credit for semester 1 classes.
TPS high school students taking career and technical education (CTE) classes can earn dual high school and community/technical college credits. Students must complete the class, earn a ‘C’ or higher and register their class in the Statewide Enrollment and Reporting System (SERS).
Once a student’s class is registered in SERS their teacher can enter their final grade and colleges can use the information toward college credit.

- New students: click Create New SERS Account; Returning students, log in using your username and password.
