Norco College saved local families $247,204 in tuition costs last year as part of the High School Articulation program. If the same classes were to be taken at a UC, the savings would translate to $2,128,104. The numbers are based off 5,374 units taken by high school students in 2017-18. 

What is articulation? Articulation is a process that allows a student to receive a letter grade, along with the unit value of the college course, on their college transcript for high school courses. The credit appears on a student’s college transcript with the same letter grade they received in their high school class. For example, if a student earns an A in their high school articulated course, their college transcript will show an A next to the articulated college course. This allows students to efficiently reach their educational and career goals 

“It’s exciting to see the numbers soar all while increasing access to higher education and giving students a jump start towards college completion,” said Bryan Reece, Norco College president. “Affordability, access, and opportunity is what community colleges do best.”
