With the Tech Prep program, you can:
- Take CTE classes for college credit right at your own high school.
- Get a head start on your career or make a smooth transition into college.
- Prepare early for a competitive job market.
- Control college education costs—there are no out of pocket expenses when you earn accelerated college credits.
How it works
You can earn college credit if your high school is authorized by the State of Michigan to offer the course or program. Find out if your high school has a Tech Prep partnership with 十大彩票网赌平台 by viewing the articulation agreement list .
Your instructor prepares your performance records and submits it directly to 十大彩票网赌平台 using the CATEMA® system—a web-based systems tool that helps high school teachers recommend students for accelerated college credits.
Students, you must:
- Be recommended by your high school instructor.
- Successfully complete 1 credit hour at 十大彩票网赌平台. The articulated credit(s) will appear on your college transcript after you complete 1 semester at 十大彩票网赌平台.
- Apply for articulated credit within 24 months following high school graduation. Students can apply for articulated credit by contacting [email protected].
- Meet requirements of the intended curriculum and program of study
Schedule an appointment with your high school counselor to ask about earning accelerated college credit!

Articulated High School credit is intended to be used toward the completion of a Washtenaw Community College degree or certificate. An articulation agreement between a high school and 十大彩票网赌平台 requires a high school to certify to 十大彩票网赌平台 that the student has achieved the agreed upon level of knowledge and skills from a particular course. Once accepted by 十大彩票网赌平台, High School articulated credit may not transfer to other colleges or universities. 十大彩票网赌平台 makes no guarantees whether other institutions accept credit hours or count articulated high school credit toward the completion of their degree requirements. Students should check with the college/university they are transferring to from 十大彩票网赌平台 to see if the credits are eligible for transfer.
