Articulation Dual Credit

Consortium

Why have articulation agreements?
They provide

• a jump start for students
• seamless transition for students
• elimination of course duplication
• a means to save money for college credit

7
What are the differences?

• Articulation
• The college credit is pending until after high
  school graduation and until the student enrolls
  at the community college in a career and
  technical education program of study or in the
  apprenticeship program.

• Dual Credit
• Students earn the college credit immediately
  after completing the high school course taught
  with the college level competencies. Credit is
  placed on a college transcript during high school.

8
What are the similarities?
Students

• must make a grade of a B or better
• must meet 80 or more of the college course
  competencies
• do not pay tuition costs for classes
• do not pay for text books
• save time by not duplicating college course work

9
Understand your Consortium

• Every Tech Prep Consortium in Missouri is
  governed by a community college, two-year
  technical college, school district, or the
  carpenters apprenticeship.
• They do not all offer college credit in the same
  manner. But most do go through a similar process
  for granting articulation agreements for either
  articulating credit or offering dual credit.
