SIS User Conference – Wyoming Department of Education

2. What is Dual and Concurrent Enrollment?
Both programs allow high school students to take college-level courses and earn credit at both their high school and at the partner college.
Dual-enrollment courses are taught by the partner college’s instructors and are frequently on campus, although can also be at an outreach center or online
Concurrent-enrollment courses are taught by college-approved high school teachers at the high school.

3. Wyoming Statute 21-20-201 established the Postsecondary Education Options Program (PEOP) in 2010.
Important aspects of that law include:
Districts and colleges are required to have an up-t0-date MOU(s) that specifically details each DE/CE course offered through the partnership
Students cannot be required to pay for tuition, fees, or any costs related to the DE/CE courses, including books.
CE instructors must meet minimum credentials under the college’s accrediting standards, and be certified as such by the college
Colleges and high schools must utilize a standardized data reporting process through the WCCC and WDE on an annual basis.

4. The updated Perkins V program provides federal funding for Career and Technical Education programs
The current version of Perkins requires evidence of MOU compliance
Because many of the CE/DE courses receive Perkins V funding, the districts and colleges will be required to demonstrate that their CE/DE MOU’s are accurate on a regular basis

5. Districts can reach out to the WDE for assistance in compliance with state statutes and Perkins regulations
Colleges can work with the Wyoming Community College Commission to update CE/DE MOU’s
Both organizations are reaching out to colleges and districts to align on standardized data reporting processes.
