4 and insert:
5 1007.271 Dual enrollment programs.—
6 (3) Student eligibility requirements for initial enrollment
7 in college credit dual enrollment courses must include a 3.0
8 unweighted high school grade point average and the minimum score
9 on a common placement test adopted by the State Board of
10 Education which indicates that the student is ready for college
11 level coursework. Student eligibility requirements for continued
12 enrollment in college credit dual enrollment courses must
13 include the maintenance of a 3.0 unweighted high school grade
14 point average and the minimum postsecondary grade point average
15 established by the postsecondary institution. Regardless of
16 meeting student eligibility requirements for continued
17 enrollment, a student may lose the opportunity to participate in
18 a dual enrollment course if the student is disruptive to the
19 learning process such that the progress of other students or the
20 efficient administration of the course is hindered. Student
21 eligibility requirements for initial and continued enrollment in
22 career certificate dual enrollment courses must include a 2.0
23 unweighted high school grade point average. Exceptions to the
24 required grade point averages may be granted on an individual
25 student basis if the educational entities agree and the terms of
26 the agreement are contained within the dual enrollment
27 articulation agreement established pursuant to subsection (21).
28 Florida College System institution boards of trustees may
29 establish additional initial student eligibility requirements,
30 which shall be included in the dual enrollment articulation
31 agreement, to ensure student readiness for postsecondary
32 instruction. Additional requirements included in the agreement
33 may not arbitrarily prohibit students who have demonstrated the
34 ability to master advanced courses from participating in dual
35 enrollment courses or limit the number of dual enrollment
36 courses in which a student may enroll based solely upon
37 enrollment by the student at an independent postsecondary
38 institution.
39 (13)
40 (b) Each postsecondary institution eligible to participate
41 in the dual enrollment program pursuant to s. 1011.62(1)(i) must
42 enter into a home education articulation agreement with each
43 home education student seeking enrollment in a dual enrollment
44 course and the student’s parent. By August 1 of each year, the
45 eligible postsecondary institution shall complete and submit the
46 home education articulation agreement to the Department of
47 Education. The home education articulation agreement must
48 include, at a minimum:
49 1. A delineation of courses and programs available to
50 dually enrolled home education students. Courses and programs
51 may be added, revised, or deleted at any time by the
52 postsecondary institution. Any course or program limitations may
53 not exceed the limitations for other dually enrolled students.
54 2. The initial and continued eligibility requirements for
55 home education student participation, not to exceed those
56 required of other dually enrolled students. A high school grade
57 point average may not be required for home education students
58 who meet the minimum score on a common placement test adopted by
59 the State Board of Education which indicates that the student is
60 ready for college-level coursework; however, home education
61 student eligibility requirements for continued enrollment in
62 dual enrollment courses must include the maintenance of the
63 minimum postsecondary grade point average established by the
64 postsecondary institution.
65 3. The student’s responsibilities for providing his or her
66 own instructional materials and transportation.
67 4. A copy of the statement on transfer guarantees developed
68 by the Department of Education under subsection (15).
