The document provides information about Career Pathways, which are agreements between school districts and the Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) that allow high school students to earn college credit for career-focused courses. It lists Career Pathway advisors at each DCCCD college and explains that students can receive college credit if they complete articulated high school courses with a grade of B or higher, enroll at a DCCCD college within 12 months of graduating, and submit their transcript to the advisor. An abbreviation list is included to help identify articulated career/technical courses on high school transcripts.
