The College will provide the college course outcomes in the Course Agreement Form and the respective syllabi. The form will include the length of the course, number of credits awarded, and approved textbook(s) and/or instructional materials that will be required for Students to use in their respective courses. The course agreement requirement for the School extends to designation of academic and workforce courses for Traditional Dual Credit and ECHS. College, School District and School shall ensure that a dual credit course and the corresponding college course offered at the School are equivalent. Academic representatives from the College will develop and publish the student learning outcomes in the course syllabus to satisfy the requirements each College course. The School District will identify the corresponding Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills that align to each College course, thereby allowing students to attain dual credit from both institutions.
h. The College will provide the School District and School the minimum number of instructional minutes required to meet the contact hour requirement, per course, taught on the School site.
i. The 86th Texas Legislative Session passed HB 3650 which requires that the School District and the College consider the use of free or low-cost open educational resources in courses offered as dual credit, for which the School uses as part of its course offering to satisfy the prescribed courses in the identified degree plans.
j. Course Agreements will include any additional instructional requirements, any required faculty development/training, and the requirements for evaluation of teaching. A Course Agreement will be completed by the deadline designated in the yearly Dual Credit Timeline for any course, but not later than the start of the first instructional day that course is delivered. All courses offered for Dual Credit must have an approved Course Agreement. The Course Agreement will be effective for three years unless either party requests a modification or if the publisher makes changes to the current Instructional Materials. For course sections taught at the School, the College will maintain the same instructional materials and editions for Dual Credit courses taught at the high school campus for a minimum of three years, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Course Agreement or as otherwise specified in Section 13 -
