The North Carolina High School to Community College Articulation Agreement allows students to receive articulated credit at a NC community college for courses taken during high school. The following criteria will be used to award Johnston Community College credit for identified CTE high school courses:

To receive credit through the HS/CC AA, the articulated course(s) must be included in a selected program of study. Additionally, students must enroll in a NC community college within two years of high school graduation and meet the following criteria:

• Final grade of "B" or higher in the high school course, AND

• Proof of Learning (POL) 

  • CTE post assessment* - Score of 90 or higher 

  • Performance-based Measurement (PBM) - Meets course proficiency

  • Industry Credentials - Courses that have industry credentials as proof of learning will follow the procedure for Credit for Prior Learning as outlined in NC Community College System Curriculum Procedures Reference Manual.

Community college officials must verify eligibility of the courses listed on the submitted high school transcript to receive articulated credit. Students may be asked to submit additional supporting documentation or demonstration to receive credit. Colleges must follow the criteria of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) in awarding credit.
