Credit Transcripting Process
MiraCosta transcripts the final exam/project/portfolio grade with the notation of credit by exam. For information on how to record articulated credit on your college application or how to order transcripts, visit the Student & Parent Information page. In order for MiraCosta College to have the ability to transcript credit for students in articulated courses, ALL of the following requirements and steps must be met.
- Student Responsibilities
- Submit a MiraCosta College application if you are a new student or haven't been enrolled for more than two semesters in a row.
- Submit the Petition for Credit for HS Articulation form by the deadline for their school and term.
- Earn a B or higher as their final course grade
- Earn a B or higher on their final exam/project/portfolio (This will be the grade on the college transcript.)
- Receive credit recommendation from high school instructor. Students in a high school class articulated with Music Technology or Media Arts & Technologies are assesed for credit by MiraCosta College faculty, including the exam grade and credit recommendation.
- Teacher Responsibilities:
- Ensure students complete the required steps
- Input grades and credit recommendations for all students in the Google Classroom by the deadline
After all grades and credit recommendations are input, MiraCosta staff enrolls students and transcripts the credit for all students who met the requirements. This is a lengthy process, and we have a large volume of students and classes. While we aim to transcript credit earlier, our deadline is to have all credit transcripted by September 1st.
Grades below a B are not eligible for credit, and they will not appear on a student's MiraCosta College transcript; though they will be on the high school transcript. Credit is applied to the students' MiraCosta College transcripts one semester after finishing the high school course.
