Concerning increasing the number of off-campus courses offered by institutions of higher education to students in concurrent enrollment programs, and, in connection therewith, making and reducing an appropriation.
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.
