Articulated Credit

Earning extra credit takes on a whole new meaning thanks to provisions of an articulation agreement between Montcalm Community College and your local high school. By aquiring articulated credit, you could:

• Earn college credit now with classes you're taking today.
• Prevent repetition in college courses of material you were exposed to in high school.
• Reduce the cost of a college education.
• Take advantage of opportunities for advanced study.

What is Articulation?

Articulation is a process where students earn college credit for certain courses they take in high school. It blends high school and community college courses, granting equivalent college credit to students achieving specific competencies (grades) in identified courses within the local school district.

In order to qualify, the student must demonstrate competency or achievement levels (minimum 80%) from high school in all classes for which articulation credit is being requested. The student must enroll at Montcalm Community College within 26 months following high school graduation.

How do I get articulated credit for my high school vocational-technical courses?

Check with your local high school counselor to determine which courses are eligible for articulation. You may also access a list of partcipating high schools and career centers here. Click on the name of your high school or career center and you shall be directed to the courses that you may articulate.

Ask your high school to forward a program articulation application, student competency list, and high school transcript to the Montcalm Community College Enrollment Services Office.

Submit a Montcalm Community College admissions application. You will receive an acceptance letter admitting you to the college. Your articulation application cannot be processed unless you apply to the college. When these steps have been completed you will be issued a transcript.

What are my next steps?

Meet with a Montcalm Community College counselor to discuss an area of study. Verify your articulation application packet has been received by MCC's Enrollment Services Office.

Attend a new student orientation program which provides all placement testing and advising needed prior to enrollment.
