Identified “Barriers” Transcript issues

Delayed credit; “credit in escrow”

University articulation issues Will UC/CSU accept credit

granted for HS work? Database resistance

Is a commitment implied if I post an articulation agreement?

“Credit in escrow”

• Not mandated

• Negatively impacts student persistence

• Academic Senate for the California Community Colleges position

Why delay credit?

• § 55050. Credit by Examination. Such credit may be granted only to a student who is registered at the college and in good standing and only for a course listed in the catalog of the community college.

• Where is “in good standing” defined?

Why delay credit?

• § 55031. Standards for Probation A district may establish, as the minimum number of units before academic or progress probation is assessed, a number of units fewer than 12 semester or 18 quarter units.

• If not stated, is not the definition locally determined?

University Articulation Issues

• § 55051. Articulation of High School Courses

• “Notations of community college course credit shall be made only if community college courses are successfully completed or if credit is earned via credit by examination.”

Database Resistance

• Articulation happens locally

• Mechanism needed to indicate how a student seeking credit proceeds

What can you do?

• Break down barriers

• Ease fears

• Encourage involvement
