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 through March 15 for the upcoming school year.

What College Faculty Are Looking For

  • College and high school course outline, software, and capstone assignment alignment
  • Rigor demonstrated through assignments, exams, and projects
  • Course objectives align and are easily identified in your Articulation Request
    • Ex: Assignment X addresses Objectives 1, 2, 4, and 7
  • Career Pathway courses

High School Instructor Implementation Responsibilities

High school instructors are responsible for the following:

  • Inform students and their families of the articulation opportunity. Ensure they understand this is not dual enrollment and inform them of the requirements and process to earn the college credit.
  • High school teachers must adhere to all implementation deadlines for their school. 
  • High school teachers must join the Google Classroom and meet their school' established deadlines.
  • Ensure students are completing the required steps:
    • Submit an Admissions Application (New students and those who were not enrolled in a MCC course for more than two semesters).
    • Students must submit a Petition for Credit form by the deadline set for their school. Links to each district or school's form can be found on the Student & Parent section, in addition to the Educator Google Classrooms.

Credit Transcription Process & Timing

We begin enrolling credit eligible students and transcripting their credit about a week after the high school course ends. Students can login to their SURF account to see if their credit has been transcripted.  

We transcript the FINAL ASSESSMENT GRADE with a notation of "Credit by Exam." Students can request official transcripts online.
