MI HB6129

Amends the Michigan Reconnect Grant Act to support individuals age 25 and older pursuing associate degrees or industry-recognized certificates or credentials at community colleges, with a goal of increasing residents ages 25-64 with a college degree or credential to 60% by 2030.

Requires eligible institutions to provide corequisite academic support for gateway English and mathematics courses by August 1, 2023, allowing students to concurrently enroll in developmental education and freshman-level courses in the same subject area during the same semester.

Establishes completion rate targets for institutions to maintain full program standing, with institutions failing targets for 2 consecutive years placed on low-performing status and reimbursed at 90% of last-dollar tuition costs until targets are met again.

Creates the Michigan Center for Adult College Success to serve as the state's primary resource for research, support models, and best practices on adult college enrollment and completion at eligible institutions.

Requires the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity to maintain a network of navigators, operate a help desk, create a marketing campaign, and reimburse institutions at $80.00 per credit hour for awarding credit for prior learning to Michigan reconnect grant students.
