Articulation Agreements
Faculty members, in coordination with division chairs and Dean of Instructional Services, are encouraged to develop articulation agreements with both secondary and post-secondary institutions. These are then presented to the Vice-President of Instructional Services for final approval.
When Vernon College awards college credit for work completed at the secondary school level, the VC faculty member must determine the following before a final agreement is signed:
- Credit awarded is at the collegiate level. College course outcomes must be included in the secondary school course and documentation attached to the articulation agreement.
- Secondary school instructors must at a minimum meet the credential Guidelines recommended by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
It is expected that VC faculty members will evaluate articulation agreements annually.
