Articulation Process


How does a School District Requests an Articulation Agreement?

Please review our Course Outlines to find the Palomar College course that best aligns with your high school course. Agreements are valid for three years, and renewal requests are required every three years in order to maintain the articulation agreement.  Articulation Agreement requests are accepted from November 1 through February 15 and if approved, will go into effect for the following academic year.  The Palomar College CTE Office will send notification to High School Instructors/Districts by May 15.  The notification will include:

  • Effective dates for the articulation agreement
  • Instructions for the annual review process
  • Instructions for the resubmission process (in third year)
  • Next steps and calendar of deadlines

What Palomar College Faculty Are Looking For

  • Content of the articulated course is aligned with the course outline of record; and
  • Examination process adequately measures mastery of the course content as set forth in the course outline of record
