Advanced Standing articulation agreements are developed between the College and the District high schools for dual credit. When a Student enrolls at the College, the College will award college credits for Advanced Standing high school courses that were covered by an articulation agreement between the College and the high school when the courses were completed.
An Advanced Standing course is defined as a high school course that teaches content aligned with a college course and assesses at least 80% of all the College course competencies. Students are required to achieve a grade of “B” or better in the high school course to earn Advanced Standing credit at the College. Advanced Standing credit is noted on the high school transcript as “TR” for transfer credit on the official college transcript.
If a Student is enrolled in an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) or Technical Diploma program at the College, an Advanced Standing course may meet a program requirement but is not guaranteed to transfer credit to another institution.
Advanced Standing courses will not count as credit toward the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degrees at the College. Advanced Standing courses will also not count toward residency credit requirements at the College.
