2. The student must apply for admission to MSCC and enroll in a credit course within 15 months of high school graduation.

NOTES: College Now credit is offered to the student at no cost! A maximum of 42 credit hours may be articulated at MSCC.

What is articulated credit?

Many schools have articulated agreements with area colleges to provide students with a seamless transition from high school into selected post-secondary career majors. These career majors are designed to save the student time, effort, and expense.The participating secondary and post-secondary schools have agreed upon the competencies that students must attain in their high school course work in order to earn college credit. A secondary teacher teaches the courses at the secondary school. The College Now program links high school and post-secondary courses, which allow students to progress to post-secondary education without the duplication of coursework. The earned credit is awarded when the student completes 3 credit hours at MSCC.
