Credit by Articulation

WHAT IS SECONDARY ARTICULATION?

Articulation is a process that allows a student to receive a letter grade, along with the unit value of the course, on their college transcript for high school courses. The credit actually appears on a student’s college transcript with the same letter grade they received in their high school class. For example, if a student receives a grade of “A” in their high school articulated course, their college transcript will show the grade of “A” next to the articulated college course. Active articulation agreements must be in place between the student’s high school district and an RCCD college at the time the student was enrolled in the high school class.

STEP 3: APPLY FOR CREDIT BY ARTICULATION?

If you have completed an articulated class (even if you are still in high school) and the class appears on your high school transcript with a grade, please click here and fill out a High School Transcript Review Request form.

 

STEP 4: HOW TO HAVE ARTICULATED CREDIT APPEAR ON YOUR RCCD TRANSCRIPT?

Currently enrolled student - if you are in the course now, and you requested articulated credit through CATEMA, your teacher will submit your final grade at the end of the semester and then RCCD will place the class and the final grade you received on your RCCD student transcript.

Students who have already completed an articulated class - credit will be posted to your RCCD transcript after you have completed the Request for Articulated Credit via Transcript Review (step 3) and your grade has been verified through submission of your official high school transcript.

 

Note:

It can take up to six weeks for credit to appear on your transcript. To verify that credit has been posted to your RCCD transcript, login to your RCCD Webadvisor account and click under ‘academic profile’ to view your unofficial transcript.

 

The total number of credits a student may earn for articulated courses may not exceed 16 units.

 

Students have up to 4 years to complete the process for credit by articulation.
