CTE High School Articulation

students looking at computerHigh School Articulation is a process in which high school Career Technical Education (CTE) courses are deemed equivalent to college CTE courses through a formal agreement. College credit will be awarded to students that successfully pass the course according to the terms of the agreement. The credit appears on a student's college transcript with the same letter grade they received in their high school class.

Active articulation agreements must be in place between the student's high school district and an 女优appD college (Moreno Valley College, Norco College, or Riverside City College) at the time the student was enrolled in the high school class.

Resources for Students

Articulation allows you to meet prerequisite course requirements before enrolling in college, saving time. Since there is no cost to take an articulated course, students save money. These advantages allow you to advance more quickly toward your goal of a certificate, degree, or transfer. The links below guide you through the process of applying for articulated credit.

Resources for Teachers

Teachers interested in articulating their high school course can use the following links to guide you through the process. Please note that Articulation Agreements are between districts and an 女优appD college (Moreno Valley College, Norco College, or Riverside City College).

Once the Articulation Agreement has been fully signed and approved, teachers will have to create a CATEMA account and guide students through the college application process and CATEMA registration.
