Annual Reporting Instrument: Dual Credit Policy Compliance

The Coordinating Board for Higher Education Dual Credit Policy requires institutions of higher education offering dual credit programs to provide evidence of compliance with the Dual Credit Policy in the following areas: Student Eligibility; Program Structure and Administration; Faculty Qualifications and Support; Assessment of Student Performance; and Transferability.  In each of these areas there may be exceptions in which the implementation of standards may differ from the policy guidelines. In such cases, the reporting institution must provide both a rationale for the exception and a plan for ensuring quality of the dual credit offering. The chief academic officer of the college or university is accountable for the academic quality of all courses delivered by the institution. The CAO has responsibility for assuring the integrity and quality of all dual credit courses and providing evidence of compliance with the CBHE Dual Credit Policy.
