College Credit for High School StudentsCareer Center students have the opportunity to earn college credit through three programs: Articulation, Dual Credit, and Dual Enrollment. All three opportunities are made available through cooperative agreements which exist between the Career Center and various post-secondary institutions.ArticulationArticulated credit is designed to be used to satisfy specific requirements for particular programs at pre-designated schools. College credit awarded through Articulation gives the student a jump-start into a technical degree program by allowing the student to by-pass certain entry-level classes at the college level for which the student has already mastered the coursework. Articulated credit is free and is transcripted after the student completes the high school course and enrolls, and attends the institution awarding the credit. (Ask class instructor about specific grade, attendance, portfolio, and/or other possible requirements)
College credit earned through Dual Credit is possible when the subject matter covered and the competencies mastered are equivalent to those required in a particular college-level class as identified by the post-secondary institution. Unlike articulation, there is a fee for the award of dual credit; however, dual credit is transcripted for the student whether or not the student attends that college or university after high school graduation. And the transcripted credit is transferable to other post-secondary institutions.
