Guidelines for Evaluating Articulated Courses for Performance Acknowledgments
|
Students may earn a performance acknowledgement by either successfully completing at least 12 hours of college academic hours including dual credit, advanced technical credit and locally articulated classes with a grade of the equivalent of 3.0 or higher on a scale of 4.0 or by using these courses as part of earning an associate’s degree in high school. Students who qualify can receive credit towards a two-year associate’s degree or one-year certificate. Also, students in an ATC course may receive weighted points toward their GPA.
19 TAC Chapter 74 states:
�74.14. Performance Acknowledgments.
