• Advanced Placement (AP): nationwide program of college level courses sponsored by the College Board; credit may be received by earning a satisfactory grade on a fee-based nationally standardized exam
• Advanced Credit: local program of approved courses taken at the high school and offered by the University of Missouri-St. Louis or Saint Louis University; credit can be earned by registering with the college, paying a registration fee, and earning a course grade of "C" or better
• Dual Enrollment: courses taken on a local college or university campus during the regular school day
• Articulated Credit: college credit earned while a student is in high school. The credit is awarded for a high school course that is associated with a comparable college-level course, for which there is a signed articulation agreement developed by faculty and agreed upon by administration at both the secondary and postsecondary levels. Articulated credit can be applied at St. Louis Community College (STLCC) toward an Associate in Applied Science degree or certificate program. This credit is not awarded for Associate in Arts (transfer) degrees. More info can be found on the Articulated Credit Process page on the St. Louis Community College website.
