College credit for your high school coursework? Yes!
Middlesex Community College is committed to providing you with a smooth transition
to college. The partnerships we have developed with many school systems help to make
the transition seamless.
Articulation agreements are officially approved agreements that matches coursework
between schools to recognize credits towards a degree, which allows graduating high
school students the opportunity to enroll at MCC and be awarded credits for work completed
at the high school level. Currently, we have independent articulation agreements
with local high schools and statewide articulation agreements with Chapter 74 approved
Secondary Career/Vocational Technical High Schools. For more information on Chapter
74 Agreements, visit the State Agreements website.
MCC will honor an agreement for two years after the student's date of graduation.
Students may apply the articulated credit to any MCC certificate or associate degree
program that can accommodate the credit.
To receive credit for an MCC course, students must:
- meet all MCC admissions requirements and be a matriculated student in good standing
- submit to MCC Enrollment Services an official high school transcript documenting graduation
- graduate from a partnering high school or Chapter 74 approved Secondary Career/Vocational Technical High School
- earn a minimum cumulative grade in the articulated high school course or program
