Transition courses are identified as either Bridge to College courses or through local articulation agreements between institutions of higher education and school districts/State-Tribal Education Compacts (STECs). English language arts and math high school transition courses must satisfy a student's core or elective credit graduation requirements.

Districts/STECs do not need to submit any additional information; data will be collected from CEDARS student grade history records.

Bridge to College

  • Coursework completed in the 2018-19 school year or later; AND
  • Must be a state-approved high school; AND
  • Taught by an eligible teacher; AND
  • 1.0 high school credit earned in the same school year.

Administration of a Bridge to College course as a graduation pathway requires that districts/STECs and schools adhere to the same assurances previously established for the courses (refer to District and School Assurances for more information). Students must earn a B grade or higher for college placement.

Local Agreement

  • A local agreement must be in place with college; AND
  • Must result in 100 level or higher college-level course placement; AND
  • Course must count towards high school ELA or Math credit.
