Articulation
Articulation is the planned process linking together two educational institutions to help students make a smooth transition—without experiencing a delay or duplication of coursework—from the community college to the four-year College or university. Porterville College has articulation agreements with a variety of institutions of higher education.
To understand the concept and process of Articulation, see this article: "Articulation for Non-experts: Understanding the Processes and the Jargon."
Students planning to transfer from Porterville College to a UC or CSU campus can find articulation information online (go to www.assist.org) or in person at the Counseling Center (AC 126). ASSIST (www.assist.org) is a database that contains information on lower-division major requirements and general education requirements and their equivalent at the Community College.

2+2 Articulation Credit By Exam - (High School / Porterville College)
Porterville College has a process of evaluating course to determine whether coursework completed at a high school/ROCP/Adult School will meet the requirements at a community college for the purposes of awarding college credit.
