IN SB0406

Consolidates and streamlines Indiana's postsecondary enrollment programs for high school students by replacing the separate "Double Up for College" program (IC 21-43-5) and "High School Fast Track to College" programs at Ivy Tech and Vincennes University (IC 21-43-6 and IC 21-43-7) with a unified "postsecondary enrollment opportunity" framework under IC 21-43-4

Defines four types of dual credit courses: concurrent enrollment courses taught by approved high school faculty, on-campus courses at eligible institutions, college courses taught by institution faculty in high school classrooms, and online college courses

Establishes "early college" programs allowing high school students to earn both a high school diploma and either an associate degree approved by the Commission for Higher Education or up to two years of credit toward a baccalaureate degree

Requires state educational institutions or campuses offering concurrent college courses to be either accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships or approved by the Commission for Higher Education

Mandates that Ivy Tech Community College receive reimbursement from school corporations for tuition costs when students with waived tuition take courses at Ivy Tech sites, with the school corporation where the student resides responsible for payment each year the student is included in the corporation's ADM (Average Daily Membership)
