Courses with Secondary Schools
EL PASO COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT’S
ARTICULATION PROCESS
1.
Independent School District (ISD), with an articulation agreement, contacts El Paso County Community College
District’s (EPCCCD) Curriculum Office in the form of an e-mail for suggestion of a course to be articulated or
EPCCCD contacts the ISD to initiate a biennial review of all Articulation Plans.
•
If the ISD is not sure which EPCCCD course could be articulated, the Curriculum Office sends the ISD’s Texas
Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) to the EPCCCD District-Wide Discipline Coordinator (DWDC) for course
recommendation.
2.
The EPCCCD Curriculum Office or appropriate Dean makes contact with high school counterparts and exchanges
course materials.
3.
Once the course is selected, the Curriculum Office creates the Articulation Course Competency Analysis form by filling
in course data and the course objectives portion.
4.
The Curriculum Office then sends the Articulation Course Competency Analysis form to the ISD to complete the high
school course data, course objectives, and related information on the form.
5.
The ISD returns the completed signed Articulation Course Competency Analysis form with course documentation
materials to the Curriculum Office.
6.
The Curriculum Office reviews the form/materials and then forwards it to the EPCCCD’s District-Wide Discipline
Coordinator for review and recommendation.
7.
The District-Wide Discipline Coordinator reviews the Articulation Course Competency Analysis form and course
materials. The DWDC makes a recommendation, signs, and sends back form to the Curriculum Office.
8.
The Curriculum Office then forwards Articulation Course Competency Analysis form to the appropriate dean for
signature.
9.
The Curriculum Office receives the form back from the dean and prepares two copies of an Articulation Plan (formal
document specifying which course) based on the information provided on the Articulation Course Competency Analysis
form.
•
The Curriculum Office makes four copies of the Articulation Course Competency Analysis form and sends one
each to the District-Wide Discipline Coordinator, appropriate Dean, ISD, and El Paso Area career and technical
education/Tech Prep Program Director.
•
Sometimes a secondary school course cannot be matched with a College course. The same Articulation Course
Competency Analysis form indicating a mismatch, course materials, and signatures must be turned into the
Curriculum Office. This information is kept on file.
10.
The Curriculum Office accepts the responsibility for obtaining the signatures required on the Articulation Plans. An
original Articulation Plan will be sent to the secondary school administrative representative for the secondary school
district’s records. The other original plan will be kept on file in the Curriculum Office.
11.
The ISD charts are updated on the College website (http://www.epcc.edu/Articulation/Pages/default.aspx), e-mailed to
EPCCCD personnel, and printed. Copies of the updated Articulation Chart are sent to the secondary school district
administrative representative for distribution.
12.
The high school instructors receive the Articulation Chart and inform their students about how to obtain credit for
articulated courses. The Curriculum Office sends an Articulation Certificate to the ISDs that includes steps for their
students to claim articulated credit.
EPCC does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Community College District, P.O. Box 20500, El Paso, Texas 79998, hereinafter referred to as "EPCCCD,” and ____________
Independent School District, hereinafter referred to as "LEA" (Local Education Agency).
RECITALS
The purpose of this agreement is to approve the mechanism by which college credit is awarded to students who
successfully meet the articulation criteria. Articulation is defined as an agreement between EPCCCD and the LEA that
common educational objectives, content, and student competencies exist. Based on the identification of common course
content and exit competencies, an appropriate arrangement can be made to award college credit for those courses for which the
student has achieved the competencies required in the corresponding college course. Articulation will be based on specific
course content and evaluation criteria agreed upon by both institutions and does not require additional testing or challenge
examinations for the award of credit.
EPCCCD and LEA are to share in the responsibility of carrying out the activities needed to keep respective faculty and
counselors informed and up-to-date with respect to the day-to-day function of the system. Specifically, EPCCCD
administrators, LEA administrators, and contact personnel directly involved with the articulation process are expected to
distribute copies of up-to-date articulation documents to all counselors and faculty members. Those documents include the
Articulation Chart, articulation brochures, etc. Career and technology counselors and faculty members are expected to inform
students about the opportunity to obtain college credit for specified courses taken in the secondary school system. Students are
to be informed about how to apply for credit once they enroll at the EPCCCD.
EPCCCD agrees to supply each LEA with a master copy of documents such as the Articulation Chart. The LEA agrees
to make enough duplicate copies to supply the above identified personnel. EPCCCD will supply other documents such as
brochures and certificates for distribution.
AGREEMENT
Under this articulation agreement the following conditions of articulation are hereby set forth:

articulation credit can be granted.
The student must have a complete high school transcript on file with the EPCCCD Admissions Office.
The student must be enrolled in the College in a credit degree program at the time he or she applies for articulated
credits. Courses for which credit is granted must be a part of the student’s degree plan at the College if he or she is
going to reduce the time required to complete his/her degree plan.
Students complete a Request for Award of Non-traditional Credit form available on the EPCC website and submit it to
the Office of Admissions and Registration. The request forms may be initiated at any EPCC counseling office. The
administrative assistants will forward the form to the Evaluations Department at Valle Verde.
The student must have completed high school within 28 months of the request for credit.
All specific Articulation Plans will be on file with the secondary school district’s administrative representative, the
appropriate instructional dean, the EPCCCD’s Secondary Articulation Officer (Vice President of Instruction or Vice
President Workforce/Economic Development and Continuing Education), and the Curriculum and Instructional
Development Director.
The secondary school administrative representative distributes an updated Articulation Chart to all counselors,
instructional supervisors, and teachers within the subject area stated on each Articulation Plan.
This partnership will commence upon the date of execution of this agreement and will continue until the agreement is
canceled or the articulation expires.
This agreement may be canceled in whole or in part by either party’s giving a full thirty (30) days’ notice in writing to
the other party. Such notice will be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address of the respective
party listed on page 1. However, such cancellation will not apply to a student already enrolled in the articulated
