E. Articulation Agreements with High Schools and Career CentersArticulation is a process which links two educational institutionstogether to help students make a smooth transition from one level ofeducation to the next without experiencing delay, duplication of courses,and loss of semester credits. Delta College is part of a statewide effortto implement the Competency Based Education Articulation of careereducation programs.The secondary articulation agreements allow students to receive collegecredit for instruction received at the secondary school/center for specificoccupational courses. These agreements are signed contracts betweenthe faculty and administrators of both institutions, and are re-evaluatedannually. The instructors at the secondary level initiate the process bycompleting a student articulation application and submiing it to theArticulation Office at Delta College. To maximize counseling services,once a student has been accepted to Delta as an academic student, andhas declared a specific course of study other than undecided or generalstudies, the articulated credit(s) will be posted to the student’s transcript.No tuition or fees are charged for articulated credit.The schools currently involved are:Alpena High SchoolBay Arenac ISD Career CenterBay City Central High SchoolBay City Western High SchoolBreckenridge High SchoolBridgeport High SchoolBullock Creek High SchoolCarrollton High SchoolChesaning High SchoolCOOR (Crawford, Oscoda, Ogemaw, Roscommon) Intermediate School DistrictDow High SchoolEssexville Garber High SchoolFrankenmuth High SchoolFreeland High SchoolGenesee Area Technical CenterGrand Blanc High SchoolHeritage High SchoolHolly High SchoolHuron Area Technical CenterIosco Regional Education Service AgancyJohn Glenn High SchoolKingston High SchoolLapeer County Educational & Technology CenterMarlee High SchoolMayville High SchoolMerrill High SchoolMidland County Educational Service AgencyMidland High SchoolMt.
