High School Credits (HS Articulation)
High school students can earn MATC college credits through MATC's Career Prep initiative. This is a joint curriculum review process for advanced standing and/or curriculum alignment with high schools. The purpose of joint curriculum is to provide high school students with the opportunity to obtain advanced standing for successful completion of high school coursework that is comparable to technical college coursework.
Credit is awarded toward completion of specific MATC program graduation requirements. The MATC credit is applied when you are admitted to the specific program.
The number of credits awarded is specified in the individual agreements and, when applied, will appear on your MATC transcript without a grade. There is no fee for advanced standing by high school articulation.
See High School Relations for the list of transcripted credit and advance standing agreements.
Credit By Examination
You may earn advanced standing by demonstrating ability in a specific subject through credit by examination. Subject examinations may be written, verbal, practical, or any combination. There is a nonrefundable fee for each examination. The fee does not apply to course fees. The most common examinations include the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) II, and Advanced Placement (AP) exams.
