What is Articulation?
Articulation is a term used to describe the various methods by which a student can 1) receive credit
for competencies mastered outside the college classroom; or 2) begin college study in courses higher
than entry level.  The different types of articulation include advanced placement, business, professional,
and/or private organization certification by examination and formal articulation agreements.
