College Credit Colton-Redlands-Yucaipa Regional Occupational Program (CRY-ROP) As a student, you have the opportunity to earn college credit while in high school by successfully completing what’s called “articulated” CRY-ROP programs. This means that when you apply to a participating community college, you won’t have to retake a program that you’ve already taken through CRY-ROP! This saves you time and money. Articulation is a process that allows high school students to receive a letter grade and community college credits for CRY-ROP programs. The credits appear on a college transcript with the same letter grade you receive in your CRY-ROP program. For example, if you receive a grade of “A” in your articulated CRY-ROP program, your college transcript will show the grade of “A” next to the articulated community college course. Active articulation agreements must be in place between CRY-ROP and a participating community college at the time that you were enrolled in the program. In order to receive college credit for an articulated CRY-ROP program, you must: - Meet minimum requirements as outlined in the articulation agreement. - Complete the steps found here |

ROP Scholarships Colton-Redlands-Yucaipa Regional Occupational Program (CRY-ROP) CRY-ROP Foundation Scholarships are funded by various business contributors, CRY-ROP employees and fundraising events. The recipients for these scholarships are selected by the CRY-ROP Scholarship Committee. Each scholarship has its own guidelines, eligibility requirements, and selection criteria. Bob Bruce Memorial Scholarship Distinguished Student Awards (DSA) The CAROCP Distinguished Student Award is our primary opportunity to recognize students who have displayed a positive attitude, demonstrated outstanding skills in class, possess realistic career goals and whose future has been significantly impacted by ROP. Recognition begins with each teacher nominating one student for the competition. Students create a 1½ - 3 minute video showcasing their talents and speaking about how their ROP class(es) have impacted their future career and education plans. One winner is selected from each represented industry sector. |
