When the word "articulation" is used in education, it often has different meanings and connotations, depending on the setting. Articulation, for our purposes, refers specifically to course articulation--that is, the process of developing a formal, written agreement that identifies courses (or sequences of courses) on a "sending" campus (the LAUSD High School) that are comparable to, or acceptable in lieu of specific course requirements at a "receiving" campus (LAHC). Successful completion of an articulated course assures the student and the faculty that the student has taken the appropriate course, received the necessary instruction and preparation, and that similar outcomes can be assured, enabling progression to the next level of instruction at the receiving institution. From the Handbook for California Articulation-Policies and Procedures

The term used to identify schools in a local school district, i.e. Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), that by formalized, legislated design (The Thompson Bill, Senate Bill 1537; 1994/ The Carter Bill, Assembly Bill 174; 2009) supply a two or four-year school of higher education, i.e. Los Angeles Harbor College and/or California State College Dominguez Hills, with students

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99; U.S. Department of Education - Laws & Guidance GENERAL Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA); https://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.

FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. However, these rights transfer to the student when he or she attends a school beyond the high school level and those schools must have written permission from eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record.
In compliance with this FERPA regulation, LAHC includes the FERPA Wavier Form in its Enrollment Paperwork Package to allow the release of specific information - class enrollment information, class rosters, grades awarded - to the middle or high school administration where the student is also enrolled.

The K-12 is the form used by the Admissions and Records Office to enroll existing middle school and high school students; all dual enrollment students must complete this form.  An electronic version of the form is now being used.  For Independent - Non-CCAP Students, please refer to your To Do List in your student portal and you fill find the link to Dynamic Forms. 

The package consists of the forms needed to enroll into LAHC classes, consisting of K12 form, FERPA Wavier, Photo/Video Wavier, School Verification Form, and Student English & Math Transcripts.  All this is now being done through Dynamic Forms.  Dual Enrollment Students - Non-CCAP - please refer to your To Do list in your student portal.

This waiver is part of the enrollment paperwork package, this form allows LAHC to take photos and/or video of classroom interaction.  It is on the backside of the K-12 form. 

The School Verification Form is a form used to confirm the middle school or high school the dual enrollment student is currently attending. 

At times the most current middle or high school student transcript will be requested for a counselor to review grades in these subjects, which may be used in determining student eligibility for certain coursework.
