Atlantic Cape reviews and approves certain high school courses for credit-by-articulation according to the College's academic standards. These are high school courses taught by high school teachers. Students who take and successfully complete courses approved for credit-by-articulation may fulfill high school graduation requirements and also seek college credit. Students may earn credit for these courses once they have graduated from high school, applied for admission to Atlantic Cape, and completed the majority of their Atlantic Cape degree requirements. Course credit will be applied to the student's academic record and appear on their college transcript upon their final semester at Atlantic Cape.
