ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS

ADVANCED STANDING
Previous educational experiences are recognized at McCann through examinations of skill and subject matter and/or evaluation of transcripts. This may result in a change of program completion times. No more than 50 percent of the total quarter hours of credit, including 50 percent of the total required hours in the major study area, may be credited by advanced standing. No transfer credits will be allowed for courses designated as foundations. Transfer of credit for English and/or mathematics classes must be substantiated by placement test scores. All transfer, standardized testing and, proficiency testing must be completed prior to the end of the first term of attendance at McCann.


Advanced Standing by Transfer Credit
Credits earned at another accredited postsecondary institution will be assessed to determine which credits, if any, are applicable to the program the student is enrolling in at McCann. The student must have earned a grade of “C” or better and an official transcript must be received from the previously attended institution. The course(s) must be comparable in level and content to subjects in the student’s program at McCann. Credits earned seven or more years prior to enrollment will be evaluated on a course by course basis. Skills classes in which technology may have changed significantly in a short period of time may require additional testing as part of the credit evaluation. All transfers must be completed by the end of the first term of attendance at McCann.


Advanced Standing by Proficiency Testing
Students who have acquired skills, knowledge and mastery of a particular subject via work experience, study, or personal attainment are able to pursue these subjects at their proficiency levels by demonstrating proficiency in that subject through examination. The tests are the equivalent of a comprehensive final examination in a subject area and a grade equivalent of “B” is required. Any proficiency test may be taken only one time, and it must be taken prior to enrollment in the related course. Should proficiency be achieved, course credit will be granted. All proficiency examinations must be completed prior to the end of the first term of attendance.

Under the agreement, seniors have the opportunity to earn up to 12 credits during their final year of high school that may be applied toward an appropriate diploma or Degree program at McCann.
