What is CTE-ROP Articulation?

Fullerton College, part of the North Orange County Community College District (NOCCCD) in partnership with local high schools, is committed to developing CTE programs that allow students to earn college credit while completing their high school education.

Articulation is a method designed to connect high schools and ROPs with community colleges by means of a formal Articulation Agreement for courses taught at both the high school and community college levels. The Articulation Agreement allows students to earn community college credit through successful completion of the high school/ROP course or program. This prevents a student from repeating a course in high school/ROP and college and thus duplicating their learning. The Articulation process allows students to move from one course, program, or educational level to the next without loss of time or resources.

Successful Completion of a CTE Articulated High School Course entitles students to:

  1. Earn community college credit while still in high school/ROP.
  2. Waive most fees for community college course(s) completed through the
    articulated high school/ROP course.
  3. Receive college credit and/or advanced placement through successful
    completion of the articulated high school/ ROP course.
  4. Advance to the next level of classes for which this course serves as a
    prerequisite.
