A CTE Transitions Credit by Exam agreement between a high school and San Diego Community College District (including San Diego City College, San Diego Mesa College, and San Diego Miramar College) allows high school students to receive community college credit for an approved high school class if the student meets all the requirements of the agreement. These agreements better ensure that a student does not have to repeat the same content in at community college that they already studied in high school.  CTE Transitions Credit by Exam Agreements are available for high school career education courses only.

Required Steps for Receiving College Credit

If you are a high school student in a CTE Transitions course, you need to satisfy and complete the following 5 steps:

1. Step 1. Enroll in an approved high school CTE Transitions class.

3. Step 3. Successfully complete an SDCCD college application online.
