High School Articulation

---

Teacher Instructions

Title V of the California Educational Code is very clear about the faculty role in curriculum development at the community college level. It is the community college faculty members who determine and authorize the appropriate curriculum and articulation.  In order to determine if your courses are appropriate for articulation with a Las Positas College course you will need to work collaboratively with Las Positas College faculty.

• Directory of Las Positas College Articulation Faculty (2023-2024)

Once courses have been identified, the appropriate faculty/teachers will need to meet to compare course outlines, competencies, end of course assessment(s), and any other vital information to determine if an agreement is possible.

Articulation is on a course by course basis. Agreements are valid for three academic years from the endorsement date of Las Positas College faculty/administration.
