High School Articulation
Within two years of high school graduation, students who have completed high school courses that have been articulated with the College may receive college credit upon successful completion of competency validation examinations. Statewide and local articulation and curriculum alignment agreements are in place to meet the needs of the community. Local and statewide articulation agreements serve students by facilitating the smooth transition of students from secondary to postsecondary technical colleges, encouraging postsecondary education and eliminating undue entrance delays, duplication of course content and/or loss of credit. Articulation agreements are signed and a copy stored in the High School Coordinator’s Office.
A high school graduate can transfer articulated courses from high school into Savannah Technical College if all the following criteria are met:
- Student must enroll in Savannah Technical College within 24 months of graduation to receive articulated credit.
- Student must meet the admissions requirements of Savannah Technical College.
- Student will be allowed to transfer credit to Savannah Technical College for each articulated course in accordance with the articulation agreement between Savannah Technical College and the school from which he/she graduated.
- Student must make a grade of 70 or higher in a high school course listed on the articulation agreement and pass an exemption exam for the specific program.
- Student must have an official transcript (in a sealed envelope) and documentation of the articulated credit submitted directly to the Registrar’s Office at Savannah Technical College.
- Articulated credit awarded should be indicated on transcript/permanent records by use of the letters “AC”
