  1. Credit by Exam Supporting CTE Transitions + Student Success Eve Nighswonger, MSODManager, School Initiatives & Career Pathways

  2. (4) Types of HS-CC Articulation • Course-to-Course • Advanced Placement • Course Sequencing Credit by Examination (CBE) Title 5 §§55050 • HS students demonstrate proficiency in CC course(s) • Earn CC credit by passing CC exam • Exam approved or conducted by CC faculty of that discipline

  3. CBE Procedure @ • District procedure providing a mechanism for studentsto earn credit for prior learning (3.16P) • (52) courses approved for CBE • Discipline faculty determine exam content • District budget funds faculty time • Fees: same as enrollment in course $46/unit • Limits: (2) attempts; (15) units max per student • Some risk if “grade only” course • Transcripts show code “09”: “earned through examination” • if transfer course, then CBE units transfer to UC/CSU • Note: CBE units earned do not generate FTES

  4. 2009: Barriers in CBE Procedure @ • Residency requirement of 12 units: all students • Cost: HS students required to pay fees = to unit enrollment cost • + $17 student health fee • Transportation: CBE conducted at CC site, only • High-risk: failing grades recorded on CC record

  5. inShare 2010: Approval of Revised CBE Procedure @ • Removal of residency requirement entirely + • Special provisions for HS students under articulation agreements, whose HS teachers are designated by CC faculty to proctor CBE: • No CBE fees • No student health fees ($17) • Best Practice, not procedure: only passing grades recorded

  10. inShare Steps for Course CBE Approval @ • Faculty develop comprehensive assessment • Fill out “Revised Course” form + attach exam • Submit to Curriculum Co-chairs • Provide grading criteria • Include statement of rationale • Pay attention to Curriculum Dept timelines

  11. Best Practices: • HS teacher recommends “B” or better students for CBE (per articulation agreement) • Some CC CBE requires a lot time to proctor: look for a way to proctor over 2 class periods at HS site • HS teacher provides “recommended” grades; CC instructor: final grades • Remove risk: CC records only passing grades • New “repeat code:” Record CBE grades of “B” or better, only • CC instructor provides letter to student: eg,“Congratulations! You have earned x # of units in Child Dev, good for X # of degrees/certificates. Please consider continuing your education at SRJC after HS graduation.” • Debrief each fall to strengthen articulation + CBE outcomes
