• What is Articulated College Credit (ACC)?

    • This is an opportunity for 10th, 11th, and 12th graders to earn Technical or Community college credits (Articulated College Credit) for free while still attending and earning high school credit
    • Your teacher has specific requirements in order for you to earn the college credit.  Often times it is assessment results, a minimum grade in the course (usually an A or B), attendance requirements, etc.
    • Any student can qualify for ACC as long as an account is created on the www.ctecreditmn.com website and the minimum requirements are met
    • On this website, you will be able to download your ACC record when you register at a college to receive the credit(s) earned
    • The certificate will state which college(s) the credit is valid.  Other colleges MAY honor the credits
    • You must always check with the college  or university of your choice for specific criteria in a program or major – not all credits will move into all programs or majors
    • For more information, see our ACC website at www.ctecreditmn.com
    • Students who do not meet minimum grading requirements will not be reflected nor penalized
