Dear Presidents,

 

First, let me express our appreciation for your patience as we worked
through the concurrent enrollment issue.   Also, thank you for
completing the survey so promptly and helpfully.

 

Second, the information below describes the status of the program.

 

Pilot program.  The State Regents will immediately begin a pilot program
to make tuition waivers available for all qualified high school seniors
for fall 2005 and spring 2006.    All State System institutions will
participate in the pilot program. 

 

Courses offered.  Tuition waivers will apply to regularly scheduled
courses on campus or by electronic delivery.  Institutions are not
expected to create additional classes specifically to accommodate high
school seniors.

 

Reimbursement.  For the pilot program year, reimbursement to
institutions at the May 2006 meeting will mirror the State Regents'
National Guard reimbursement methodology:  institutions must absorb a
minimum number of credit hours with full reimbursement for all hours
above the minimum.  The minimum number is proportional to the total
enrollment of the institution, with a range of 300 to 750 credit hours.
Funds for reimbursement for FY06 activity will come from FY07
appropriations (consistent with State Regents' National Guard and
Teacher Residency existing reimbursement methodology). 

 

High School Senior Admission Criteria.  Student eligibility will
continue to be governed by State Regents' current admissions policy.

 

Budget limitation.  For the pilot program year, the limitation on
resident tuition waivers of 3.5% of the E&G I budget would exclude
concurrent enrollment waivers.

 

Policy modifications and development.  Using data from the pilot program
and other sources, State Regents' staff will continue a comprehensive
study of concurrent enrollment and make recommendations to the State
Regents during the spring semester.

 

If you have questions or comments, please share them.
