The Career Technical Education (CTE) Articulation/Credit by Exam (ACE) program is a collaboration between Palomar College faculty and local school districts to establish articulation agreements, which offer students the chance to earn college credit if they meet all the necessary requirements.
This is an OPT-IN program, meaning that students must follow the requirements steps to receive the credit while earning a B or better in their class and final exam/project. Overall, it serves to provide an incentive for students to continue their education, reduces costs to the student and minimizes needless duplication of coursework.
