In progress Facilitate articulation events (provide resources) Populate database of agreements More templates Address “barriers”

Identified “Barriers”  Transcript issues  Delayed credit; “credit in escrow”  University articulation issues  Will UC/CSU accept credit granted for HS work?  Database resistance  Is a commitment implied if I post an articulation agreement?

“Credit in escrow” Not mandated Negatively impacts student persistence Academic Senate for the California Community Colleges position

Why delay credit? § Credit by Examination. Such credit may be granted only to a student who is registered at the college and in good standing and only for a course listed in the catalog of the community college.

Where is “in good standing” defined?

Why delay credit? § Standards for Probation A district may establish, as the minimum number of units before academic or progress probation is assessed, a number of units fewer than 12 semester or 18 quarter units. If not stated, is not the definition locally determined?

University Articulation Issues § Articulation of High School Courses “Notations of community college course credit shall be made only if community college courses are successfully completed or if credit is earned via credit by examination.”

Database Resistance Articulation happens locally Mechanism needed to indicate how a student seeking credit proceeds

What can you do? Break down barriers Ease fears Encourage involvement
