CTAG Guidance Document https://www.ohiohighered.org/sites/ohiohighered.org/files/uploads/transfer/CT2/v2.1All%20CTAGs.pdf The CTAG Guidance document aligns the ODE course and EMIS Code with the CTAG/CTAN, identifies the type of review, and lists the requirements for students to be eligible to access college credit.

It’s All Affirmation for Secondary Except: Automotive Technology: ASE NATEF Accreditation and Student ASE exam OSHA Safety Part 147 Aviation Programs Hospitality ServeSafe (NRA) EMT/Fire per State Administrative Codes CISCO Medical Assisting Nursing Coming Soon: Revisions to Pharmacy Technician NOTE: Distinction needed for Microsoft Server Administration or Linux but not both.

Getting the Most Out of Articulation Use the course matrix to guide course delivery options Talk early and often about college pathway, options, and CTAGs Send verification forms, individually, with seal, to appointed representative, with accurate information. Look for additional guidance in Spring Semester. Be mindful that individual test score (WebXam ®) reports must say “pass” when attached to affirmation forms.
