DEFINITIONS OF METHODS OF ACCELERATION. For purposes of the dual enrollment articulation agreement, the following definitions based on law shall be adhered to: A. Dual Enrollment, §1007.271, Florida Statutes 1. The dual enrollment program is the enrollment of an eligible secondary student in a post- secondary course creditable toward a career certificate or an associate degree. 2. Students are permitted to enroll in these programs during school hours, after school hours and during the summer term. In addition, eligible secondary school students shall be permitted to enroll in distant learning courses or a combination (hybrid) course. Any student so enrolled shall be exempt from the payment of registration, matriculation, and laboratory fees. B. Career Dual Enrollment, §1007.2711, Florida Statutes 1. Career dual enrollment was established by the Legislature as a positive measure to expand the scope of the dual enrollment program. 2. This type of dual enrollment shall be provided as a curricular option for secondary students who wish to earn a series of elective credits toward the high school diploma and shall be available for eligible secondary students seeking a degree or certification from a complete job preparatory program, rather than enrollment in isolated vocational courses. C. Early Admission, §1007.271(10), Florida Statutes Early admission is a form of dual enrollment through which eligible secondary students enroll in a post-secondary institution on a full-time basis in courses that are creditable toward the high school diploma and the associate degree. D. Career Early Admission, §1007.271(11), Florida Statutes Career early admission is a form of career dual enrollment through which eligible secondary students enroll full-time in courses that are creditable toward the high school diploma and the certificate or advanced technical diploma. E. Advanced Placement, §1007.27(5), Florida Statutes Advanced placement shall be the enrollment of an eligible secondary student in a course offered through the Advanced Placement Program administered by the College Board. Post-secondary credit for an advanced placement course shall be awarded on the basis of Rule 6A-10.024 F.A.C. F. Career Pathways, §1007.235(2)(d), Florida Statutes The high school and the College agree to cooperate in the advancement of the Career Pathways Program. Working through a Career Pathways partnership, the high school and College personnel have identified courses and programs that can articulate from the high school to the College to help prepare students for certificates or associate degrees. The high school and College will promote the Career Pathways Program to students, parent, and counselors through the website, posters, brochures, and email. The high school and College will establish clearly defined course-by-course or course -to -pathway articulation agreements. The agreements will provide opportunities for admission to College programs and the award of credit for students in those programs because of their successful work in the Career Pathways Program. To be eligible for the award of college credit, the student must complete the appropriate sequence of high school Career Pathway courses with a cumulative grade point average and assessment stated in the agreement. Through successful work in the Career Pathways Program, students will receive credit for college courses, which saves them time and money. These credits can assist them in graduating earlier at the postsecondary level. Revisions and amendments to Career Pathways Articulation Agreements will be submitted annually. All courses in a pathway will be reviewed and new pathways developed as appropriate.
