The purpose of the Articulation Agreement is to facilitate the transition of students from programs at the secondary level into programs at Nicolet, based on competencies achieved in secondary programs. With Advanced Standing, a high school student may be granted college credit without challenge testing after enrolling at the college. Students must earn a "B" or higher to articulate a course. Nicolet and high school instructors meet to verify that most of the competencies of the high school course are equivalent to those in the technical college course.
