Articulation Procedures for the Tennessee Technology Center

at Shelbyville

Articulation is a process that provides a transitional vehicle between secondary and postsecondary institutions. It offers high school students the opportunity to receive postsecondary credit for the skills they have mastered at the secondary level. Performance based competencies that are use to measure those skills will be validated by successful completion of the course in achieving no less than a “B”. The credit will count towards a degree or certificate but will carry no quality points and will not count in the calculation of the grade point average. Transfer of articulated credit to other institutions of higher education is at the discretion of the receiving institution.

 

Students interested in obtaining articulated credit at the Tennessee Technology Center at Shelbyville should complete the following:

  1. Complete the high school course(s) that are outlined on the specific articulation agreement with no less than a “B” average.
  2. Submit an articulation application and a high school transcript to the address listed below within two years of the student’s high school graduation.
  3. Credit will be posted to the student’s transcript after the student enrolls at the Tennessee Technology Center at Shelbyville.
