What is Articulation?

Articulation is a process which links a high school and college course in order to help students avoid experiencing a delay in or duplication of learning. It allows high school students to receive college credit and/or advanced placement for articulated classes taken in high school. By encouraging enrollment in both high school and post-secondary education, articulation provides an incentive for students to continue their education, reduces costs to the student and minimizes needless duplication of coursework.
