CATEMA

For those students currently enrolled in Photojournalism,  I want you to know that you can earn college credit for taking your current class. If you take four consecutive years in this sequence you will also earn and endorsement in Career and Tech Education.

To "bank" your college credit here is some information on how and why it is possible.

"You are enrolled in a CTE course which articulates with Austin Community College. This means by completing the course, maintaining an 80 or above average and passing the ACC end of course exam you will receive college credit for free. To obtain this credit you would complete a course (any course, including an elective) at ACC. However, you can also take your transcript to any college/university and ask them to accept the credit and they will decide if that is possible. To enroll in the ACC articulation you need to sign up in a system called CATEMA. This is optional and not required to be in this course; however without enrolling in CATEMA you cannot receive the articulated credit. If you are not successful in the course there is no negative impact to your college transcript or financial aid options. We will complete CATEMA enrollment in class and all you need is your school ID# and school email address in addition to your name/class information. There is no fee and even if you don't think you'll attend ACC you should consider participating so that the credit is easily available to you. Any questions?"

This is the link to get to the sign-up system called CATEMA:

You can complete this task today and register for this class. I will approve you as soon as possible. You will need to search by class period (3rd or 6th). Enrollment will close next Friday, so please get this completed today if you want to "bank" your credit.
