9. FAQs for CTE & CCP Answer (continued):

17. FAQs for CTE & CCP Question:
Do courses offered for bilateral or statewide articulated credit fall under the same requirements as College Credit Plus (e.g. teacher credentials, transcripted credits, dual enrollment admissions requirements)?

18. FAQs for CTE & CCP Answer:
No. Articulated credit options are separate from College Credit Plus rules and requirements.
The course taught at the high school level is the secondary course, not the college course. The student receives the credit after graduating high school and upon enrollment into an approved college.
