Introduced Session

This bill permits eligible high school students to take certain courses at a county college. Under the bill, a county college is required to permit a high school student to enroll in courses through a career certificate program if there is available space and the student is 16 years of age or older and enrolled in grade 12, maintains good academic standing, and obtains written permission from the principal of the student's high school. Additionally, the bill specifies that a high school student enrolling in credit courses towards a career certification or license is not required to have a State-endorsed diploma or have completed the General Educational Development Test prior to enrolling in the courses. Finally, the bill stipulates that the provisions of the bill do not require a county college to waive its prerequisite course requirements or application procedures.
