How a High School Teacher Requests an Articulation Agreement

Please review our Course Outlines to find the course that best aligns with your high school course. Agreements are valid for two years, and renewal requests are required every two years in order to continue articulating the course. Articulation Requests are accepted between December 1, 2021 through March 15, 2022 for the Fall 2022-Spring 2024 school years.
