Advanced Placement Courses for Community Colleges

North Carolina High School To Community College Articulation Agreement

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and the North Carolina Community College System have a statewide articulation agreement in which students may be eligible to receive college credit after completion of identified Career - Technical Education (CTE) courses in high school. This agreement creates a systematic and seamless process in which students can move from high school to community college without having to duplicate efforts or repeat courses.

Criteria used to award college credit for identified CTE courses include the following:

• Final grade of B or higher in the course.
• A RAW score of 80 or higher on the standardized CTE postassessment test.
• Student's enrollment at the community college within two years of his or her high school graduation date to receive articulated credit.

The student's official high school transcript must include the CTE postassessment scores.

Community college officials have the responsibility for verifying eligibility and accepting the articulated course or courses on the high school transcript for college credit.
