Career and Technical Education Articulated Credit

North Central has partnered with the Michigan Department of Education's Office of Career and Technical Education (CTE) and state-approved secondary CTE programs to provide statewide postsecondary, articulated credit agreements that benefit Michigan high school students.

North Central students may apply to receive credit for high school CTE courses that align with our academic programs. The Postsecondary Credit Agreement/Articulation Agreements offered are listed below. Additional information is available on the Michigan Department of Education website.

Articulated high school credit is intended to be used toward the completion of a North Central degree, certificate, or certificate of development. An articulation agreement between a high school and NCMC requires a high school to certify to NCMC that the student has achieved the agreed upon level of knowledge and skills from a course. Once accepted by NCMC, high school articulated credit may not transfer to other colleges or universities. NCMC makes no guarantees whether other institutions accept credit hours or count articulated high school credit toward the completion of their degree requirements. Students should check with the college or university they are transferring to from NCMC to see if the credits are eligible for transfer.

Apply for CTE credit here!

Once you've applied and been accepted to North Central, simply fill out our Application for Articulated CTE Credit.
