How to Apply for Free College Credits
The CTE College Credit program is comprised of skill-based classes that qualify for articulated credit towards both high school and college graduation requirements. These courses give you a chance to explore career options and areas you are interested in while building an official college transcript.
The CTE College Credit program identifies high school and adult school courses comparable to specific college courses and creates articulation agreements between them.
How to earn CTE College Credit for high school courses:
1. Enroll in a high school CTE College Credit course. Information is available in your high school counseling office or email ctecollegecredit@gcccd.edu.
2. Fill out an on-line application to Grossmont College or Cuyamaca College.
3. Earn a grade of A or B in the CTE College Credit course.
4. Complete an Articulated Credit form after the course is completed.
That’s it! Your enrollment into college is done and upon your completion of the course with a "B" or better you are eligible to earn free college credit. Once your Articulated Credit Form is processed, credit will be applied to your college transcript one semester after the high school course has been completed.
