Articulated Credit

Articulated credit is an option that allows high school students to receive advanced placement or exempt courses by taking articulated courses in high school. The student must submit a high school transcript showing the completed courses for which the student wants to receive credit.

Ogeechee Technical College must validate student competencies before awarding articulated credit for competencies learned in high school by administering the final examination/exemption examination for the course to be articulated. No fee shall be charged to students taking an exam to validate articulated credit from high school. The student must score equal to or higher than the required scores for the courses.

The College shall bank credit after a high school student successfully passes the exemption exam required to articulate subject credit. This credit shall be applied to the student’s record once he/she matriculates to the College. The high school student must matriculate within two (2) years after high school graduation, unless dictated by programs standards. A list of approved courses is available from a high school counselor or the Admissions Office.

Ogeechee Tech will honor local articulation agreements statewide when students move from one area of the state to another and will validate the credit by administering the final examination/exemption examination for the course being transferred.

Articulated credit awarded will be indicated on transcript/permanent records by use of the letters “AC.”
