High School Credit

Articulation Agreements are just fancy words for an arrangement between your high school and Western Technical College, where a class you take in your high school (maybe it's accounting) counts for college credit at Western. What that means is that when you get to Western, you won't have to retake something you already took in high school, saving you time and money.

There are two types of articulated credit: Advanced Standing and Transcripted Credit.

Advanced Standing

Advanced Standing agreements are created between your high school and Western. Your high school teacher teaches the course at your high school just like normal. Once you successfully complete the course, you become eligible to receive advanced standing credit when you pursue and associates degree or technical diploma at Western. If you have taken or are currently taking one of the agreed upon courses and you receive a "B" or better in the course ("A" for accounting), you can complete the Transfer Credit Evaluation Form form and mail it to the address provided on the form to receive your advanced standing credit. You must attend Western or another technical college in Wisconsin to receive these credits. Advanced standing needs to be requested during the admission process and prior to registration.

Transcripted Credit

Transcripted Credit agreements are also created between your high school and Western. Your high school teacher teaches the course at your high school. Once you enroll in and successfully complete the course, you receive credit from both your high school and Western.
