Course Standards a. Course Equivalency, Evaluation, and Assessment The College shall offer dual enrollment courses for course credit with the same departmental designations, course descriptions, numbers, titles, and credits as those listed in the VCCS Master Course File. All dual enrollment courses shall be equivalent to the pedagogical, theoretical, and philosophical orientation of the College’s department and contain the same student learning outcomes, components of the syllabi, level and rigor of content, assessment and evaluation of student learning outcomes and instructional effectiveness. An effective dual enrollment program requires collaboration between the School and the College to evaluate student learning outcomes, program learning outcomes, instructional effectiveness and longitudinal outcomes. This evaluative process shall be coordinated by the College with support from the School to implement and collect information and data in a timely manner. In order to ensure that dual enrollment courses taught at the School meet the curricular depth and breadth of courses taught at the College, all dual enrollment courses shall have the same student learning outcomes as those courses taught at the College. In addition, student learning outcomes in all dual enrollment courses shall be assessed using common assessment measures identified and approved by the College and utilized in courses taught on campus. All course learning outcomes shall be communicated to students by dual enrollment faculty. Where applicable, the College’s assessment of program learning outcomes shall include dual enrollment students. The College and the School shall work together to provide tracking data on the performance of dual enrollment students, including credits completed, college courses attempted and completed, cumulative GPA, high school graduation data, and other data agreed upon. The specific data elements will be reported by the College on a regular basis. In order to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the dual enrollment program, the College will specify and evaluate dual enrollment programmatic outcomes and identify changes intended to result in continuous improvement.
