Procedures

1.      A signed articulation agreement listing specific courses articulated at each high school must be on file at COCC before high school students can register for the course.  A blank articulation agreement is located in the Information section of the Master Notebook.  Make additional copies as needed.  Faculty must attend one meeting each academic year with COCC faculty to ensure the curriculum including all materials, training, testing and assessment are current for issuing college credit.  A new agreement will be signed each academic year.  If information on the articulation agreement changes during the year, a new agreement must be signed.

 

2.      Each high school instructor will complete the Teacher Documentation form located in the Information section of the Master Notebook and submit unofficial copies of college transcripts.  Mail the form and transcripts to the COCC College Now/Tech Prep Office.  The COCC department chair will be responsible for reviewing the documentation.  Teachers must be approved prior to teaching the class.  You only need to submit this documentation once. 

 

3.      Each participating high school will receive a copy of the MASTER NOTEBOOK.  The Master Notebook contains all forms and documents necessary for articulation.

a.      Each high school counseling office will have a copy of the notebook.

b.      Participating high school instructors will be provided a copy of the notebook.

c.      The Master Notebook will be updated annually.  In addition, throughout the year, revisions will be sent to each participating instructor and the counseling office.  Each instructor is responsible for inserting and using the most current course revisions and articulation policies and procedures.  All COCC materials will be dated; outdated materials should be destroyed.

d.      Schools may make as many copies of the Master Notebook or parts of the notebook as they wish.
