High School Articulation
You have enrolled in a high school class that is articulated with Imperial Valley
College. This means that you are eligible to earn college credit once you sucessfuly
pass the course.
Who can participate in high school articulation?
Any high school student who is enrolled in an articulated High School class. Must
have an overall High School GPA of a 2.0 or higher.
What is an articulated class?
An articulated class taught at a high school that is equivalent to a class offered
at a local community college. Articulation is a process that allows a student to receive
a letter grade, along with the unit value of the college course on their college transcript
for high school classes.
What are the benefits
Articulated classes provide high school students the opportunity to get a "jump-start"
on their college education while saving time and money in the process. In addition,
students will gain confidence in their ability to complete college material work,
which will later make their transition from high school to college much easier.
What will parents want to know?

fees associated with earning articulated credit for a college.

$160 on tuition and save $1,665 on a typical three unit university course.
- Applying for articulated credit is voluntary. Your student will only receive credit
if they pass the class. If they don't meet the passing grade required for articulation,
there is NO negative impact on their college
transcript---ONLY passing grades are recorded for the purposes of articulation.
- OPTING OUT: Students have the option of declining college credit by submitting a form once they
received their 海角破解版 exam/project final grade.

Act (FERPA), so any personal information, including SSN, that a student provides as
part of the articulation application process, will be kept strictly confidential.

of the student's grade point average and for determining scholarship awards.

Checklist: Applying to 海角破解版
Before you start ...

you can usually retrieve it online with your SSN, otherwise, you will have to go to
海角破解版 Admissions & Records office and prove your identity to retrieve
your student ID number.
