<br>
E. When a student earns college credit through concurrent enrollment, school districts shall provide academic credit for any concurrently enrolled higher education courses that are correlated with the academic credit awarded by the institution of higher education.
Academic credit shall only be transcripted as elective credit if there is no correlation between the concurrent enrollment higher education course and a course provided by the school district. (70-628.13)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Bottom line is the State Department of Education/State Board of Education does not have a policy on how credits equate nor is it in the state law.
The local school must compare the college syllabus with the high school syllabus or standards or course description (what is being taught in the course) and make the decision of what high school class the college class will be transcripted for.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The State Regents have a policy for the purpose of calculating workload. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">A high school student may enroll in a combined number of high school and college courses per semester not to exceed a full-time college workload of
19 semester credit hours. For purposes of calculating workload, one-half high school unit shall be equivalent to three semester credit hours of college work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Concurrent enrollment is a very good idea for a variety of reasons; however, I think each student should be warned about possible ramifications and
encouraged to visit with the scholarship office at the school or schools they are looking at for future college attendance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Classes taken concurrently may not effect scholarships but they likely will effect SAP, Satisfactory Academic Progress. Students must be cautioned
about poor grades or poor completion rates in these classes. If they drop a couple or get a couple of “D’s” in these classes in high school, the situation will follow them and they may find themselves in a probationary financial aid status immediately upon
becoming a regular college student.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
