Each student is allowed no more than two Dual Credit Courses during their four years of high school that will count on their High School transcript, unless they are enrolled in one of the CNM Career Technical Education (CTE) programs (more information below), which requires students to submit an application to participate along with parent approval.
It is imperative that students understand that if they do not obtain approval to take a course from their school counselor and administration, using the district Dual Credit Course Authorization Form, they will not receive credit and RRPS will not pay for their book(s).
Students may decide on their own to take more than two courses at CNM or UNM, but they will not be given high school credit and students will be responsible for the cost of books, fees, and tuition.
As of this semester, we have expended all funding provided by the PED for the purchase of college textbooks due to the efforts we have taken to expand opportunities for students. As a result, RRPS will no longer cover the cost of books for summer sessions.
Dual Credit Guidelines:
Dual credit courses must be academic or career technical and not developmental or remedial. Dual credit courses should support a student’s Five Year Plan or be a part of a post-secondary certificate or degree program. Any dual credit course must be pre-approved by the student’s school principal (or designee) prior to enrollment.
If a comparable class is offered on the home school campus students must petition the principal in order to take the college class. Core classes may not be used to supplant high school graduation core credit classes.
Procedures:
No authorization form is needed for summer courses or courses beyond the 2 credit limit as these credits will not be placed on the high school transcript.
