Academic Credit
Articulated College Credits
Articulation is a process that allows students to earn free college credit for skills and knowledge mastered in career and technical education programs completed during high school. Articulation recognizes outstanding academic performance, eliminates needless repetition of equivalent work, saves time and money, and promotes further education. Students must complete a full year (2 semesters) of a career center program with a B (3.0) or better GPA per semester to be eligible.

Make an appointment with the Student Services Coordinator to complete the articulated credit application.
Requirements:
- Complete a full year (2 semesters) of a career center program with a B (3.0) or better GPA
- Apply to the community college/college/university

Embedded High School Credits
Career Center programs offer the student the opportunity to receive high school academic credit upon program completion. For the purposes of earning embedded Michigan Merit Curriculum (MMC) credits towards graduation if the student meets the local high school's definition of passing then this meets the intent of the law. 12 segments or PCCs must be completed with a passing grade for these options to occur.
Direct College Credit
Some of our classes allow students to earn direct college credit while in their Ionia County Career Center program. These credits are officially recorded by the listed college or university and can often count toward a degree at that school or be transferred to other colleges. Direct Credit is a dual enrollment scenario where the Career Center instructor is also the college/university adjunct professor. The student receives high school and transcripted college credit for work done in their CTE program.
Important Information:
- Eligibility may depend on first vs. second year status in their ICCC program, grades, attendance, and other requirements.
- A parent/guardian agreement is required to participate.
