Earn elective credits!
Elective credits may be applied toward high school graduation.  The number of credits is determined by your high school.


Advanced Placement and College Credit

Certain classes help you earn advanced placement and/or college credit if you earn an A or B.  Ask your instructor about articulation.

North Orange County Regional Occupational Program has entered into articulation agreements with several local community colleges.  These agreements permit students who have completed our programs to enroll in further training at the community college without having to repeat some of the basics, and receive college credits for some classes. 

The requirements to receive the advanced placement and/or credits vary by the individual course.  Inquiries should be made with your instructor to learn the specifics.  College processing fees may apply. 

Please see the course schedule for specific information.  To view a list of classes for which high school students can earn University of California a-g credits click here.
