How much do articulated courses cost?
Nothing! Regardless of income, high school students don’t pay for the articulated course or textbooks.
Do I need to apply to Palomar College every year?
Yes, you must complete an online application each Spring, and also register in CATEMA, for us to transcript your credit from your articulated course.
What if I don’t earn an A or B, or my high school instructor doesn’t recommend me for credit?
If you don’t meet the grade or credit recommendation requirement, then you will not get transcripted credit on your college transcript. Your grade will appear on your high school transcript.
When will I receive my credit?
Credit will be transcribed in the fall following successful completion of your spring course.
Will the articulated credit transfer to other colleges and universities?
Palomar College credit is awarded following the CTE High School Articulation/ Credit by Exam process and transcribed as credit by exam. At minimum, most credit by exam transfers as lower division elective credit. However, each CSU and UC campus will determine if the course completed with a credit by exam notation on the transcript will transfer as credit to a specific CSU or UC campus. If you plan to transfer to a private or out-of-state college or university, contact their representatives to see which units are transferable. Students should meet with a counselor for more detailed information to see how their credit will transfer to a specific campus and major.
I don’t have a Social Security Number. Can I still receive credit for an articulated course?
Yes, you can! An SSN is not required to apply to Palomar College.
