Bill Summary
Under current law, off-campus courses offered by institutions of higher education (off-campus courses) are excluded from concurrent enrollment programs, except when the off-campus courses are part of the teacher recruitment education and preparation (TREP) program. The bill allows off-campus courses to be included in concurrent enrollment programs when the off-campus courses meet the requirements for concurrent enrollment programs and the requirements of an accrediting agency recognized under federal law.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing law to allow more off-campus courses offered by colleges and universities to be included in concurrent enrollment programs, which allow high school students to earn college credit. Previously, these off-campus courses were generally excluded from concurrent enrollment unless they were part of a specific teacher recruitment program called TREP (Teacher Recruitment Education and Preparation). Now, off-campus courses can be part of concurrent enrollment if they meet all the requirements for concurrent enrollment programs and also satisfy the standards set by an accrediting agency recognized under federal law.
