High School to Community College Articulation Agreement

NOTE: This list of articulated courses is for high school courses that begin July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2005.

Definition

Articulation is a systematic, seamless student transition process from secondary to postsecondary education which maximizes use of resources and minimizes content duplication.

Goal

Students will make a seamless transition from secondary to postsecondary education.

Guiding Principles

1. The statewide articulation agreement will build on existing College Tech Prep, Huskins, and concurrent enrollment initiatives.
2. In selection of courses for articulation, first priority will be NCDPI supported courses. Courses with a minimum enrollment of 1,000 high school students will be considered for inclusion, and courses from every career pathway will be included.
3. Local articulation efforts and local flexibility in responding to new and emerging areas are encouraged. This agreement shall not supersede local articulation agreements based upon national skill standards, external program certification, or accreditation requirements.
4. The curriculum alignment committees will consist of five experienced community college teachers, five experienced high school teachers, one curriculum specialist from the Community College System Office and one from the Department of Public Instruction. The number of participants may be modified if warranted by special considerations. The North Carolina Construction Industry Alliance for Training will serve as the curriculum alignment committees for the construction technologies (Carpentry, Masonry, Electrical/Electronics Technology, and Air Conditioning, Heating, & Refrigeration Technology, Welding Technology and Commercial Refrigeration).
5. Criteria to award college credit for identified high school courses must be simple and uniform for all technical and vocational areas.
6. The state offices of NCDPI and NCCCS shall monitor the number of articulated students, their progression rate, their progress toward graduation, employment, and/or transfer to senior institutions.
7. For credit to be awarded in any individual course, all criteria of the Commission on Colleges, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), must be met.
8. There will be a biannual review of these guidelines.

Components

1. Identification and alignment of courses to be articulated in the future

   The curriculum alignment committees shall follow the procedures below to identify courses for articulation:

   1. Review high school and community college course descriptions.
   2. Review high school course blueprints and community college course outlines to compare competencies.
   3. Review existing local articulation agreements.
   4. Determine if articulation is course to course, courses to course, courses to courses, or course to courses, if competencies are similar.
   5. Follow policies and regulations of licensing/accrediting bodies.

   The 1999-2001 Recommended Course Listings are found in the following appendices:

   • Appendix A is the Recommended Course List which the curriculum alignment committees identified as having similar competencies and recommended for articulation.
   • Appendix B is the Recommended Course List which the NC Construction Industry Alliance for Training recommended for the Electrical/Electronics Technology.
   • Appendix C is the Recommended Course List which the NC Construction Industry Alliance for Training recommended for Air Conditioning, Heating, & Refrigeration Technology.
   • Appendix D is the Recommended Course List which the NC Construction Industry Alliance for Training recommended for the Carpentry.
   • Appendix E is the Recommended Course List which the NC Construction Industry Alliance for Training recommended for the Masonry.
   • Appendix F is the Recommended Course List which the NC Construction Industry Alliance for Training recommended for the Welding Technology.
   • Appendix G is the Recommended Course List which the NC Construction Industry Alliance for Training recommended for the Commercial Refrigeration Technology.

    

2. Criteria to award college credit

   The following criteria shall be used to award college credit for identified high school courses:

   1. Grade of B or higher in the course and
   2. A raw score of 80 or higher on the standardized VoCATS post-assessment.

   In order to receive articulated credit, students must enroll at the community college within two years of their high school graduation date.

    

3. Process to Document Credit

   The official high school transcript and all official standardized VoCATS post-assessment scores shall be required to verify that the criteria has been met to award credit for articulated course work.

   Community college officials shall have responsibility for verifying eligibility and acceptance of the articulated course or courses on the high school transcript for college credit.

   It is recommended that a technical committee be appointed to determine how articulated courses and corresponding VoCATS scores may be reflected on the high school electronic transcript in order to make the high school-to-community college transition more efficient. This committee should be comprised of NCDPI & NCCCS information system personnel and representatives from local schools and colleges.

    

4. Process of evaluation

   The following elements will be considered in the evaluation:

   • Evaluate the criteria for awarding credit ("B" average and a raw score of 80 or higher on the standardized VoCATS post-assessment) to ensure student success in the subsequent course(s) at the community college.
   • Evaluate the process to document credit from high school to the community college.
   • Review the Recommended Course List for course additions and deletions to insure the Recommended Course List reflects current curricula.
   • Measure use of the NC High School-to-Community College Articulation Agreement to include the number of students receiving articulation credit, number of articulated credits, cost savings to students, and graduation rates of College Tech Prep students.

   Appendix H contains a matrix of each of these evaluation elements complete with time elements, assigned responsibility, and methods for evaluation.

   It is recommended that a technical committee be appointed to determine how the above data elements may be collected annually utilizing the NCDPI and NCCCS information management systems. This committee should be comprised of NCDPI & NCCCS staff and information systems personnel.
