Ferris State University, Northwestern Michigan College, ITT Technical Institute, and Davenport College are among the schools that have a written contract with CTC to grant college credit for successful work completed at the Center during a students' high school years. Articulation means that credit is placed on a students' college transcript upon completion of one successful semester in college.
Advanced placement means that college credit is placed on the college transcript upon enrollment.
Both options allow a student to receive college credit for no tuition charge, and allow students to bypass entry-level courses. Special enrollment means that college credit is issued immediately upon completion of high school work. Our special enrollment options are with Northwestern Michigan College and involve a small fee. The number of credits granted varies from program to program and are based on work accomplished in the classroom. Assessment is measured by competency testing or instructor evaluation.
