Criteria to award college credit

The following criteria shall be used to award college credit for courses identified above.

1. Grade of B or higher in the course and
2. A grade of 93 or higher on the end of course Proof of Learning for state wide articulated courses.  For locally articulated courses a grade of 90 or above on an end of course Proof of Learning or Performance Based Measure is required.  This includes * 80 or above on the CISCO final exams or pass an industry standard certification. In order to receive articulated credit, students must enroll at Surry Community College within two years of their high school graduation date.

The official high school transcript and all official standardized CTE post-assessment scores shall be required to verify that the criteria has been met to award credit for articulated course work. A community college advanced placement credit form must be attached to the front of the student’s official high school transcript. This form is available to high school personnel upon request from Surry Community College. Once SCC receives the transcript and form, credit will be awarded and a credit evaluation form will be mailed to the student. Students will receive the appropriate credit hours and a grade of “CR” on their transcripts.

Surry Community College officials shall have responsibility for verifying eligibility and acceptance of the articulated course on the high school transcript for college credit.
