1. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a pupil enrolled in high school, including, without limitation, a pupil enrolled in grade 9, 10, 11 or 12 in a charter school, who wishes to enroll in a dual credit course must, at least 60 days before the last day of the semester that immediately precedes the semester in which the pupil intends to enroll in a dual credit course, submit an application on the form prescribed pursuant to subsection 2 to the superintendent of schools of the school district or his or her designee or the administrator of the charter school, as applicable. The superintendent or his or her designee or the administrator of a charter school, as applicable, may, in his or her discretion, waive the period for submitting an application prescribed by this subsection.
2. The board of trustees of a school district or the governing body of a charter school shall create, publish and make publicly available an application for enrollment in a dual credit course. The application must, without limitation:
(a) Provide for enrollment in more than one dual credit course using a single application;
(b) Specify the dual credit course or courses in which the applicant seeks to concurrently enroll; and
(c) Be consistent with any regulations adopted by the State Board.
3. The superintendent of schools of a school district or his or her designee or the administrator of a charter school, as applicable, shall approve or disapprove each application submitted pursuant to subsection 1 and provide notice of the approval or disapproval to the applicant.
4. A pupil must satisfactorily complete the prerequisites for a dual credit course before he or she may enroll in the course. If a pupil does not satisfactorily complete the prerequisites for a dual credit course, the community college, state college or university that provides the dual credit course may allow the pupil to enroll in another course for which the pupil has satisfactorily completed the prerequisites without requiring the pupil to submit a new application.
