THREE TYPES OF ARTICULATION Advanced Placement Substitution of Prerequisites Credit By Exam

CREDIT BY EXAM Actual College Credit Transcripted Credit Transferable Credit

WHY ARTICULATION DOESN’T WORK Title V Misconceptions –Credit in Escrow –In Good Standing Communications Between Segments Faculty Resistance –Budget –Rigor Student Awareness

STATEWIDE CAREER PATHWAYS Facilitate articulation between high schools, ROCPs, and colleges. –Create Articulation Agreements/Templates –Educate Students, Parents, Faculty on Articulation/CTE –Create Database of Articulation Agreements –Create CTE Awareness (Whodouwant2b.com) – Provide Transportability

WHY DOES IT WORK? Coordinated by Statewide Academic Senate Curriculum one of 10+1 Takes advantage of Consultation Process that is used by the Statewide Academic Senate Recognized by the State Chancellors Office Recognized by the K-12 Dept. of Ed

PROJECT STATUS Articulation Template and Agreement Status –Over 55 DWGs have convened over the past 5 years. –Templates in all 15 industry sectors! –118 approved articulation templates posted on the Statewide Career Pathways website. – Over 1600 articulation agreements posted in the online database Addressing barriers to student transition from high schools and ROCPs to college CTE programs. Increasing CTE awareness (Whodouwant2b.com) Developing CTE Transfer Degrees

1440 ASSOCIATE DEGREES FOR TRANSFER It’s the Law!!!!!

1440 ASSOCIATE DEGREES FOR TRANSFER 1. To earn an “associate degree for transfer” a student must complete 60 semester units... that are eligible for transfer... that consist of:  IGETC or CSU GE Breadth  a major or area of emphasis of at least 18 units, as defined by the CCC 2. No additional local graduation requirements may be required 3. Minimum GPA of 2.0 is required

If a student completes an “associate degree for transfer” 1.“the CSU shall guarantee admission with junior status” 2.“Admission to the CSU... does not guarantee admission for specific majors or campuses” 3.“the CSU shall grant a student priority admission to his or her local CSU campus and to a program or major that is similar to his or her CC major or area of emphasis, as determined by the CSU campus to which the student is admitted”

Once a student completes an “associate degree for transfer” and is at the CSU: “The CSU shall not require students transferring... to repeat courses that are similar to those taken at the CC that counted toward the associate degree for transfer.”
