Articulation Agreements

State articulation agreements are a uniform and consistent way for students in our ISSN program to enroll in any Massachusetts community college and be awarded credits for work completed at Chicopee Comprehensive High School. Our ISSN program has additional local articulation agreements with STCC, HCC, and Keene State College. These local agreements recognize credits beyond the standard 3 credit state recognition.  

These agreements allow for a seamless continuation of education for our students.
