Articulation Process Step By Step

Course alignment must be determined FIRST by following these directions:

  • Review your course content and outline and compare with equivalent GCCCD course content and outline. High school and adult school instructors may need to contact the GCCCD Career & Technical Education Support Specialists by email at ctecollegecredit@gcccd.edu if course outlines are not available.
  • Determine whether your course aligns with the GCCCD Course(s).
  • Attend Articulation workshop day(s) to meet with GCCCD faculty and complete the articulation agreement template in collaboration with the college faculty for the course(s) being articulated.
  • Once alignment is determined, and the articulation agreement is completed, including required signatures, the articulation agreement is sent to the GCCCD Career & Technical Education Support Specialists for record keeping.

When completing the “Request for Credit by Exam”, be sure to include the following information:

  • Name of current school.
  • Instructor’s Name and Email.
  • Course Name & Number.
    • At current school.
    • At Grossmont College and/or Cuyamaca College.
  • Competency & Skill Requirements.
    • For course at current school.
    • Demonstrating alignment with Grossmont College and/or Cuyamaca College requirements.

 

When finished, submit the completed “Request for Credit by Exam” form by sending an email to ctecollegecredit@gcccd.edu. Please make sure to include your current Course Outline and list of Competencies/Objectives when submitting your Articulation request.

Please note the following information:

  • GCCCD Articulation is Course-to-Course Alignment with a Credit-by-Exam process.
  • Courses are aligned if Competency & Skill requirements are the same.
  • Credit exams should adequately measure students’ mastery of the course content.
  • Agreements will be reviewed periodically.
