Education Commission of the States
Dual enrollment courses provide students with the opportunity to access advanced learning experiences, earn high school and college credit simultaneously, and possibly lower their tuition burden toward a postsecondary degree. State policymaker interest in dual enrollment is driven by its potential to smooth transitions between high school and college, increase college persistence and completion rates, and reduce college costs. Education Commission of the States researched dual/concurrent enrollment policies in all states to provide this comprehensive resource. Data is provided by program within each state. This interactive resource includes policy found in statutes, regulations and other state policy documents and guidelines, as of May 2022. Data in this resource is divided into five sections: (1) program basics; (2) access, including state policies on student access to programs; (3) courses, including state policies on course offerings and limitations; (4) finance, including state policies on program finance; and (5) quality, including state policies on quality assurance mechanisms associated with the program. Hyperlinks to 50-State Comparisons showing how all states approach specific dual/concurrent enrollment policies are provided. To view a specific state's approach across all policy areas, visit the individual state profiles page.
