North Carolina High School To Community College Articulation Agreement
|
|
The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and the North Carolina Community College System have a statewide articulation agreement in which students may be eligible to receive college credit after completion of identified Career - Technical Education (CTE) courses in high school. This creates a systematic and seamless process in which students can move from high school to community college without having to duplicate efforts or repeat courses.
Criteria used to award college credit for identified CTE courses include:
- Grade B or higher in the course.
- A RAW score of 80 or higher on the standardized VoCATS post-assessment.
- Students must enroll at the community college within two years of their high school graduation date to receive articulated credit.
The student's official high school transcript must include the VoCATS scores.
Community college officials have the responsibility for verifying eligibility and accepting the articulated course or courses on the high school transcript for college credit.
