What is articulation and how can it benefit me in high school?

High school articulation is a planned process that links secondary CTE programs to post-secondary CTE programs. Students in articulated high school courses can elect to take a "credit by exam" option that can provide them with college credit for the corresponding college course. Once the student completes the "credit by exam" option offered in their high school course, they receive a grade on their college transcript, with a note that the course was completed via "credit by examination." Courses currently articulated with DVC (updated 4/17).
