Public View

Public visitors can search for current (approved) articulation agreements by school and can view agreement details (course, units, teacher/faculty, status and expiration date).

The Public View allows teachers to identify available college courses that can be included in a CTE articulation agreement with the local college. High school teachers can determine if their courses align with the college’s curriculum and meet the necessary learning outcomes.

High School Teacher

Local high school teachers either create a CTE Course Connect username and password, or they can use a Google® sign-on option for added convenience.

Once an account is created, a teacher can submit new articulation requests online in a modern, web-based form, including attaching curriculum files such as course outlines and syllabus. Teachers can check the status of approval and resubmit rejected requests, if needed.

College Coordinator

The College Coordinator role performs the initial review of submitted agreement requests via a dashboard that provides visibility of the current status of all agreements in the CTE Course Connect system.

College Coordinators screen incoming requests, can approve or reject the requests, and can edit and delete articulation agreement requests. Approved Requests are sent to Faculty. Rejected requests go back to the high school teacher and can be resubmitted as needed.

College Faculty

After the college articulation coordinator screens new and renewal requests, they are electronically forwarded to one or more college faculty members assigned to the college course.

Faculty can approve or reject articulation requests, add comments for approval/rejection actions and then store in Request History. Additionally, faculty can view the teacher’s contact information for offline communication, if needed.

College Supervisor

The College Supervisor role, typically the Division Dean or CTE Supervisor, provides final approval of articulation agreements routed after college faculty approval.

The College Supervisor sets the agreement effective date and expiration date (college articulation coordinator role can do this as well). Once approved, the agreement is live and available for public view.

Online Portal

Provides students with a centralized location where they can access information about the CTE articulation process, including eligibility requirements, approved courses and the application process.

College Coordinators can then generate a report at the end of the academic year to work with college admissions and records offices to assign the credit earned to accelerate the student’s academic progress and provide a pathway to college enrollment.

Improved Communication

CTE Course Connect can help to improve communication between high schools and colleges as it provides a centralized location for managing the CTE articulation process and facilitates real-time communication between all parties involved.

“One of the best features of the platform is the ability for the high school instructor and community college faculty to communicate directly within the system. If faculty have a question or require further documentation, they can request this within the platform, and the instructor has immediate access to respond. The process is much more efficient, and articulation agreements are easy to track and maintain.”
