| Types of Articulation |
| |
| There are two types of articulation in which
students may receive college credit or advanced coursework
placement. This is determined within the construct of the
articulation agreement, as created and written by the partnering
faculty teaching the courses.
CREDIT BY EXAM
In a credit by examination agreement, students may receive
college credit for the articulated coursework based upon a
written examination. This exam may be the final exam in the
course at the high school/adult school/ROP or an additional
exam may be required at the college. In addition, a minimum
grade requirement must be met, as defined by the articulation
agreement for the course. Please refer to the
Articulation Completion Form or the Credit By Examination
Form.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT
For courses in which an advanced placement agreement is created,
students may be cleared of a prerequisite requirement for
a more advanced course. Students do not receive college credit
for the high school/adult school/ROP course; however, they
are recognized as having met the prerequisite for advanced
courses and can move into these courses immediately.

| The Board of Trustees of Rio Hondo College,
in accordance with provisions of the Educational Code (78207),
authorizes the college to grant appropriate semester unit
credit to any student who is currently enrolled and successfully
passes an examination administrate by staff personnel.
Individual departments and/or specialty areas may elect to
grant course credit to enable students who can demonstrate
proficiency in specific bodies of subject matter, to plan
a relevant educational program that will exclude courses in
which essential levels of mastery of subject matter material
have been previously attained.
Students shall be given course credit to a limit of 12 Rio
Hondo College units upon the successful completion of examinations.
(Not to count as units in residence)
Courses that are eligible for challenge are identified by
each department. Students will receive a grade for each course
challenged based on the written guidelines developed by the
individual department.
To challenge a class and receive Credit by Examination, a
student must be registered, but not enrolled in the class
to be challenged.
