Articulation Process For High/Adult Schools/ROP Programs

ARTICULATION PROCEDURES FOR HIGH SCHOOL/ADULT SCHOOL/ROP PROGRAMS

The granting of credit by examination or advanced placement will be awarded to any student who has successfully met the competencies of an articulated course. This process enables students at various levels of their education to accelerate their training and avoid duplication of their learning experiences.

FACULTY PROCEDURES:

1. The high school, regional occupational program, or adult school initiates articulation by filling out the ARTICULATION COMPLETION FORM. The high school, regional occupational program or adult school instructor then distributes the form to their students.

2. The instructor will direct the student to complete Part 1 of the ARTICULATION COMPLETION FORM.

3. The instructor will complete and verify part 2 of the ARTICULATION COMPLETION FORM.

4. The Instructor may select to proceed with one of the following:

-Collect and return the ARTICULATION COMPLETION FORM to your contact person (may be a counselor, instructor, or administrator liaison with the Tech Prep program) and have that individual return the completed forms to the Tech Prep office at the end of each semester.

-Collect and return the ARTICULATION COMPLETION FORM and return the completed forms to the Tech Prep office at the end of each semester.

-Instruct the student to submit the completed ARTICULATION COMPLETION FORM to the Tech Prep office at the time or enrollment/registration.

STUDENT PROCEDURES:

1. Obtain an ARTICULATION COMPLETION FORM from your high school/adult school/ROP instructor and complete Part 1 of the form.
