HB 1808: Postsecondary credit

Creating the launch year program.

Summary

  • Requires all public high schools in the state to work toward the goal of offering a sufficient number of dual credit courses to give students the opportunity to earn the equivalent of one year's worth of postsecondary credit and inform students and their families about these opportunities.
  • Requires institutions of higher education to develop a master list of postsecondary courses that can be fulfilled by achieving a qualifying score on proficiency exams or by meeting demonstrated competencies.
  • Requires each institution to publicize its own list of credits or courses and provide it to the Higher Education Coordinating Board and the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges in a form that the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction can distribute to school districts.
  • Requires the Higher Education Coordinating Board to annually publish on its website the agreed-upon list of high school courses qualifying for postsecondary credit and the exam scores and demonstrated competencies meeting postsecondary requirements.
