Course alignment must be determined FIRST by following these directions:

• Review your course content and outline and compare with equivalent GCCCD course content and outline. High school and adult school instructors may need to contact the GCCCD Career & Technical Education Support Specialists by email at ctecollegecredit@gcccd.edu if course outlines are not available.
• Determine whether your course aligns with the GCCCD Course(s).
  • To assist with identifying course alignment, complete the “Request for Credit by Exam” to compare course outlines as well as competencies/objectives.
• Attend Articulation workshop day(s) to meet with GCCCD faculty and complete the articulation agreement template in collaboration with the college faculty for the course(s) being articulated.
• Once alignment is determined, and the articulation agreement is completed, including required signatures, the articulation agreement is sent to the GCCCD Career & Technical Education Support Specialists for record keeping.

When completing the “Request for Credit by Exam”, be sure to include the following information:

• Name of current school.
• Instructor’s Name and Email.
• Course Name & Number.
  • At current school.
  • At Grossmont College and/or Cuyamaca College.
• Competency & Skill Requirements.
  • For course at current school.
  • Demonstrating alignment with Grossmont College and/or Cuyamaca College requirements.

When finished, submit the completed “Request for Credit by Exam” form by sending an email to ctecollegecredit@gcccd.edu. Please make sure to include your current Course Outline and list of Competencies/Objectives when submitting your Articulation request.

Please note the following information:

• GCCCD Articulation is Course-to-Course Alignment with a Credit-by-Exam process.
• Courses are aligned if Competency & Skill requirements are the same.
• Credit exams should adequately measure students’ mastery of the course content.
• Agreements will be reviewed periodically.
