High school and community college partnership agreements; student enrollment eligibility.

(b) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to allow the award of dual credit to a student who does not meet the requirements of the partnership agreement. (c) High schools shall establish procedures, prior to the first day of class, to notify all individual high school students enrolled in a mixed enrollment dual credit course that includes students who have and have not met the criteria for dual credit coursework of whether or not they are eligible to earn college credit for the course.
