following provisions. For purposes of this agreement, Local Education Agency (LEA) means public school districts, state chartered charter schools, state-supported
schools and bureau of Indian education-funded high schools.
1. Admission and Enrollment of Students. For a student to be accepted and enrolled into a dual credit program, the STUDENT shall:
a. Discuss potential dual credit courses with the appropriate LEA and POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION staff, including POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION
admission and registration requirements, course requirements, credits to be attempted, credits to be awarded, scheduling under dual credit, and implications
for failure to successfully complete the course;
b. Obtain course requirements for each course, including course prerequisites, course content, grading policy, attendance requirements, course completion
requirements, performance standards, and other related course information;
c. Meet the prerequisites and requirements of the course(s) to be taken;
d. Complete the Form available online or in hard copy from LEA or POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION;
e. Return the Form with the specific courses requested, required signatures and, if applicable, a current high school transcript, and copies of any assessment
results to LEA representative;
f. Obtain approval for enrolling in the dual credit program each semester by acquiring all necessary signatures on the Form and submit form to POSTSECONDARY
INSTITUTION representative;
g. Register for courses during POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION’s standard registration periods (Note: enrollments shall not be permitted after the close of posted
late registration);
h. Discuss any request for a change in registration (add, drop, withdrawal), recognizing that “audit” is not allowed for a dual credit course, and complete all
necessary forms and procedures with appropriate LEA and POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION staff; and
i. Comply with POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION and LEA student code of conduct and other institutional policies.
2. Rights and Privileges of Student. The right and privileges of STUDENTS participating in Dual Credit include:
a. The rights and privileges equal to those extended to LEA and POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION students, unless otherwise excluded by any section of this
Agreement;
b. The use of POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION library, course related labs and other instructional facilities, use of POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION programs and
services such as counseling, tutoring, advising, and special services for the students with disabilities, and access to POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION personnel and
resources as required; and
c. The right to appeal, in writing to LEA or POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION, as applicable, any decision pertaining to enrollment in the dual credit program.
3. Financial Responsibility for Funding Dual Credit. The STUDENT shall:
a. Return the textbooks and unused course supplies to LEA when the student completes the course or withdraws from the course;
b. Arrange transportation to the site of the dual credit course. Depending upon the time and course location, the student may have access to transportation
through LEA if the dual credit course is offered during the school day; and
c. Be responsible for course-specific (e.g. lab, computer) fees.
4. Confidentiality of Student Records.
a. Student educational records created as a result of this Agreement shall be retained and disseminated in accordance with FERPA requirements;
b. Participation in dual credit courses requires STUDENT and/or PARENT/GUARDIAN signatures on the Dual Credit Form to comply with FERPA regulations.
5. Secondary School and Postsecondary Institution Calendars.
The regular operating institutional calendar and schedule of POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION shall be observed by STUDENTS earning dual credits. Dual credit
STUDENTS are required to comply with the requirements of both LEA and POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION official calendars. In instances in which the calendars
are incongruent, the dual credit STUDENT is required to independently satisfy both calendar requirements and may consult with school counselors for assistance.
B. LEA. Endorsement of the Dual Credit Form shall be evidence the LEA has and will comply with the provisions outlined in the Agreement between the
POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION and the LEA.
C. POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION. Endorsement of the Dual Credit Form by the POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION shall be evidence that the POSTSECONDARY
INSTITUTION has and will comply with the provisions outlined in the Agreement between the LEA and POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION.
