An articulated course is one in which the high school teacher and the Mt.

To receive UC credit for coursework assessed by credit-by-exam coursework, the course in question must be: 1. Listed in the CCC catalog 2. UC transferable 3. Posted to a specific term 4. List specific units and a passing grade High School Articulation via Credit by Exam: The means by which faculty at any given California Community College assess a student’s gained knowledge to be equivalent to a course in that college’s catalog is under their purview. UC may accept “credit by exam” if the credit is posted to a specific term with units and a grade, and the course for which the student earned credit is UC-transferable.

Students requesting Credit for Prior Learning using International Baccalaureate (IB) shall receive credit for completing a satisfactory score on a district approved high-level International Baccalaureate (IB) examination under the following circumstances: MSJC accepts IB exams.

UC does not award credit for: work or volunteer experience, vocational or technical training, and personal enrichment courses; remedial academic or pre-baccalaureate courses, especially in English and math; or College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) or DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) exams.
