Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    Sec. 16.5. High school and community college partnership agreements; student enrollment eligibility.

(a) A partnership agreement under Section 16 that is entered into, amended, renewed, or extended after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly shall allow a high school student who does not otherwise meet the community college district's academic eligibility requirements to enroll in a dual credit course taught at the high school, but only for high school credit. Instructors, in coordination with their higher learning partner, may differentiate instruction by credit section.

(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.
