The secondary instructor(s) will complete an Instructor Recommendation Form for each student upon completion which will be maintained in the student’s secondary permanent file.

Articulated courses are recorded on the student’s permanent records after a student enrolls in and completes a non-articulated college credit hour at Central Ohio Technical College. The administrators and faculty of the program at both levels pledge their commitment and support to continuing this relationship and to promoting these articulation opportunities to the students.
