6. Articulated Credit
ARTICULATED CREDIT-A process where instructors from both secondary and post secondary meet and compare curriculum, syllabi and course descriptions. Articulation agreements are formed when there is a mirror image in the two curricula.
When articulation credit appears on college transcripts varies between institutions. Some colleges require the student to successfully complete one or more classes and other colleges grant the credit upon admission.
Generally students do not pay for articulated credit.
