To be eligible to receive college credit, a student must
have a “C” average or better for all Early Childhood Education classes and
a GPA of 2.00 or better in all subjects taken at the secondary level.
The student must meet all admissions requirements and be
officially enrolled at CVCC to be eligible for credit via articulation.

responsible for evaluating the official high school transcript and
competency profile record and recommending college credit to the Admissions
and Records Office at CVCC based on the stated conditions in the applicable
Articulation Agreement.
Enrollment at CVCC must occur within one year after
graduation from an area high school. For those students who have graduated
for periods exceeding one year, permission must be obtained from the

The competencies will be reviewed annually by a committee of
secondary and post secondary instructors for currency and completeness.
Recommended changes at the secondary level will be referred to the Career and

secondary level will be referred to the appropriate CVCC Curriculum Advisory
Committee.
