Faculty

Thank you for your interest in high school articulation.

Articulation provides a streamlined path for students who complete an articulated course in high school and wish to continue on that path at Citrus College. An articulation agreement is a process of developing a formal and published agreement that identifies courses from a high school that are comparable to, or acceptable in lieu of, specific course requirements to a college course.

Curriculum agreement between the college faculty and high school/ROP teachers is necessary; teachers and faculty can modify their curricula using the college process in order to reach an agreement. Successful completion of an articulated course assures the faculty that the student has received the necessary instruction and preparation. Similar outcomes to college students can be assured, enabling progression to the next level of instruction at Citrus College.

Interested in Articulating a Course? Follow the steps below.

  1. Identify the course you would like to make available for high school articulation.
  2. Request an account by clicking Sign In on the top right-hand corner.
  3. Contact the Career Pathways Specialist and let her know the course you wish to articulate.
  4. You (the faculty) will be notified if a high school teacher is interested in starting an articulation agreement with one of your courses.
  5. The Career Pathways Specialist will convene a meeting to introduce the high school teacher to the faculty. Before the meeting, you will review the high school’s course curriculum and provide feedback during the meeting.
  6. If alignment of curricula is reached, we will proceed with a CTE Course-to-Course Articulation Agreement. However, if alignment of curricula reaches an impasse, the community college faculty will need to provide an explanation for declining the articulation request.
  7. Given the Articulation Agreement is approved, the faculty is responsible for the following:
    1. Fall Semester
      1. Review high school course curriculum
      2. Meet with the high school teacher to align curricula
      3. Visit the high school classroom to evaluate laboratory space/equipment/software used. You may also use this time to promote your program.
    2. Spring Semester
      1. Accommodate a campus visit, so students get to see what it would be like to be enrolled in your program
      2. Develop an exam that adequately measures mastery of the articulated college course
      3. Proctor the exam (if used) or grade portfolios (if used) and provide grades to the Career Pathways Specialist

Stipends are available for faculty who participate in high school articulation.

Please contact the Career Pathways Specialist if you have any questions.
