R10.05.015. Dual Enrollment.
- Definitions:
- Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment is enrollment in a postsecondary course by a K-12 student. Dual enrollment includes enrollment where a student earns both secondary and postsecondary credit, and also includes enrollments for which no K-12 credit is earned. - K-12 Students and K-12 Institution
A K-12 student is a student who is enrolled in primary or secondary education. A student who has suspended or is on hiatus from such enrollment is still considered to be a K-12 student. An individual who has dropped out or terminated enrollment at the secondary level is not considered to be a K-12 student. A K-12 institution is a school or other entity that offers accredited instruction at the primary or secondary levels.
- Dual Enrollment
- The following regulations apply to all dual enrollment, with the exception of courses
offered on the premises of a K-12 institution, when the instructor or a class monitor
is present and engaged with the class, which is addressed in R10.05.015.C. below.
- Enrollment at the university imposes the same responsibilities and grants the same rights to all matriculated University of ɫƵ students, regardless of age. Student rights and responsibilities are explained in Regents’ Policy Chapter 09.02.
- Parents or legal guardians of K-12 students younger than 18 years of age who desire
dual enrollment shall be required to sign an authorization for university enrollment.
The authorization will acknowledge:
- The application of Regents’ Policies, University Regulations, and campus policies (specifically, but not limited to, Regents’ Policy Chapter 09) to his/her child;
- The fact that university courses attempted and grades assigned will become part of a permanent post-secondary academic record;
- The effects of dual enrollment on future federal financial aid eligibility;
- The fact that parents or legal guardians are responsible for any and all charges made to the student’s account, including those for tuition, fees, textbooks, supplies, fines for parking infractions, overdue library materials, or other instances where fines may be assessed;
- The fact that the university primarily serves those over 18, and students under 18
may come into contact with the following:
- Adult situations, adult language, or graphic and potentially disturbing topics being viewed or discussed in class or included in required study materials;
- A requirement for Title IX training that presents adult situations;
- Unsupervised contact with adults on campuses and in buildings that are open to the public;
- Supplies, equipment, furnishings, and facilities that are sized for adults. In some cases, this could make it physically impossible for a child to safely participate in a class. The university reserves the right to withdraw K-12 students from classes if he/she cannot safely use the supplies, equipment, furnishings, and facilities that are normally provided to students. The university will make reasonable accommodations required under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
- The University of ɫƵ must exclude individuals under the age of 18 or under the age of 21, due to legal requirements, from a small number of classes and programs. These are identified in university catalogs and course schedules.
- Parents, guardians, or other adults or minors may not attend classes solely to supervise a matriculated minor student. To accompany a minor student to class, such persons must enroll in the class. This regulation does not apply to persons assisting disabled students when such assistance is an approved accommodation.
- The following regulations apply to dual enrollments in university courses offered
on the premises of a K-12 institution, whether taught by a university employee or
universityapproved instructor who is an employee of the K-12 institution, when the
instructor or a class monitor is present and engaged with the class. The regulations
do not apply to a K12 student who is taking a university distance course from a computer
or other facility located within a K-12 institution, if the K-12 institution does
monitor that activity. Such distance course enrollments are addressed in R10.05.015.B., above.
- If the class is taught by a university faculty member, then students shall register for the university course being taught at the respective university. Normal tuition and fees will apply to each enrollment, unless there is an agreement between the K-12 institution or its school district and the respective university that provides for different rates of payment. Acceptance of the course for K-12 school credit is at the discretion of the K-12 institution, and students shall be informed by the K12 institution of the K-12 credit that can be earned not later than the first day of class.
- If the class is taught by an employee of the K-12 institution, then there shall be a written agreement or agreements between the K-12 institution or its school district and the university that specify required instructor qualifications; course syllabus and intended learning outcomes; the application and registration process for students desiring university credit, including applicable deadlines; the specific university course number and credits available to be earned; required fees for students desiring university credit; student requirements and responsibilities, including the requirement to submit a signed “Authorization to Discuss/Release Educational Information form” to the school district and the university; and other matters deemed necessary by the parties.
- Except as specifically exempted by other dual enrollment agreements between the K-12 institution and a UA university, enrollment at the university imposes the same responsibilities and grants the same rights to university students, regardless of age. Student rights and responsibilities are delineated in Regents’ Policy Chapter 09.02.

dual enrollment shall be required to sign an authorization for university enrollment.
