What is CATEMA?

The Career And Technical Education Management Application (CATEMA) system is a web-based system for managing information relating to advanced educational courses, schools, students, teachers, counselors, administrators and staff.

Students will need to set up an account, and enroll themselves in the high school articulated class(es) they are taking for teachers to make credit recommendations for their students.

Colleges will download information at the end of the high school academic year to have articulated credit posted to every student record showing successful course completion.

*Please note: Posting of grades takes about 2-3 months after grades have been submitted

Step 3: Wait for grades

Teachers will recommend high school articulated credit for A or B grades only
Grades will be sent to our evaluations office for the credit to be awarded via the RCCD College Transcript
Please expect for grades to be posted on the college official transcript 2-3 months after grades are completed
While credits earned through high school articulation are widely accepted at many colleges and universities, the decision to accept these credits ultimately lie with each institution

SENIORS ONLY:

If you have a conditional college acceptance letter you can contact your high school articulation representative to request your grade to be expedited and posted on your RCCD college official transcript
