CTAG

CTAG credit cuts the time and cost of earning your degree

Cincinnati State students who successfully mastered technical coursework in high school are eligible to receive college credit for the high school courses.

Career-Technical Credit Transfer (CTAG) is a state-wide initiative that helps Ohio students earn college credits without duplicating technical knowledge and skills gained in high school.

CTAG credit is available for state-approved high school courses (in Ohio) that match college course competencies.

CTAG credit is recognized on a Cincinnati State transcript as advanced standing or transfer credit. It is ungraded and indicates the student is eligible to bypass introductory technical courses and start at a more advanced level.

To be eligible to receive CTAG credit, the student:

  • must be enrolled in a Cincinnati State degree program that aligns with the high school career-technical pathway.
  • must meet all high school graduation requirements and successfully complete the high school technical course, including passing the end-of-course examination.

Bilateral Articulation

Bilateral Articulation Agreements ease transfer of credits from high school to college

A bilateral articulation agreement is a partnership between a Cincinnati State technical degree program and a regional career technical planning district (CTPD). A CPTD includes a career center and all the schools that feed into the career center.

  • Bilateral articulation agreements cover high school courses that are not included in CTAGs.
  • Each agreement specifies the credit available and the eligibility requirements to receive credit for high school coursework.
  • Bilateral articulation credit is recognized on a Cincinnati State transcript as advanced standing or transfer credit. It is ungraded and indicates the student is eligible to bypass introductory technical courses and start at a more advanced level.
