ÒÁÈËÖ±²¥app Agreements
Established articulation agreements offer qualified high school graduates the opportunity to earn college credits for programs completed in high school. Through Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) at ÒÁÈËÖ±²¥app students can apply skills and experience obtained through their secondary education towards a future degree. Participating high schools and pre-approved high school programs/courses that meet college-level standards can be found below.
High school students may, also, be eligible for transfer of credit based on AP or IB scores or can choose to explore other test-out options, such as CLEP exams. More information about opportunities for credit can be found on the Prior Learning Assessment website.
