Bill > HB2831

This bill amends Oklahoma's existing concurrent enrollment law to require high school students attending physical brick-and-mortar public or charter schools to attend their concurrent enrollment classes in person at their school building. If a concurrent enrollment class is offered virtually, the student must travel to their physical school building or a nearby college or university campus to participate online. The bill maintains the existing provisions of concurrent enrollment, which include encouraging high school students to take college courses, establishing enrollment requirements, providing tuition waivers for eligible juniors and seniors, and mandating an annual report on the program's performance. The new requirement aims to ensure that students taking college-level courses while still in high school have structured, supervised access to these classes, potentially improving academic support and accountability. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause to emphasize its immediate importance to educational policy in Oklahoma.
