High school students who are in good standing may earn high school credit by enrolling in college level
courses at an institution of higher education.

The institution shall be accredited by the state or by a state-approved accrediting agency. In order to
qualify for college credit, a student shall:

1. Meet all the requirements for dual credit/enrollment of the college/university;
2. Include the college level courses in a graduation plan endorsed by school counseling personnel as appropriate;
3. Complete a dual enrollment form at the high school and obtain signatures from the principal and
   school counselor;
4. Agree to assume any additional financial, textbook, and/or equipment costs associated with the
   college level course;
5. Obtain acceptance of the college admissions officer and complete course registration in
   conjunction with the school counseling personnel; and
6. Continue to be enrolled in their base high school.

Upon receipt of the course grade transmitted directly from the institution of higher education, the high
school shall grant credit on a term-to-term basis. Such grades shall be included in the computation of the
student's cumulative grade-point average as consistent with the district's grading policy.
