What is the Career Prep Program?
The Career Prep Program was developed to help students make a smooth transition from the secondary level of occupational or academic training to the two-year post secondary level without experiencing a delay or duplication of learning. In support of this, a process has been established which allows students to earn Ohlone College credit by taking high school or ROP courses. Ohlone faculty and high school/ROP instructors agree upon course content and assessment measures for their respective courses. They then create an articulation agreement, which identifies the high school/ROP and Ohlone courses as being compatible.
Once students have completed the high school/ROP course(s) with a grade of A or B, they are eligible to receive Ohlone College credit after completing 6 units at Ohlone College. There are specific forms and steps students must complete before receiving the credit. For more detailed information on this, please see Information for Students: Steps for Getting College Credit and Information for Instructors: Articulation Steps.
