MI HB6248

Allows fifth-year high school students (enrolled 4+ but not more than 5 years) to become eligible students under the Postsecondary Enrollment Options Act if they have not met all requirements for a high school diploma.

For fifth-year students not in early/middle college programs: limits enrollment to no more than 2 eligible courses at one time and 4 total courses per school year, with a 10-course aggregate limit across all years (unless waived by written agreement).

For fifth-year students in early/middle college programs: requires only that they have not met all diploma requirements to qualify as eligible students, with no course enrollment limits specified.

Requires a completion plan signed by school administrator, parent or guardian, and student documenting how graduation requirements will be completed within the academic year, including any college-level courses.

Permits schools to support college-level or career preparation courses for any student if determined in the student's best interest, and does not prevent schools from waiving enrollment limits by written agreement between the school and postsecondary institution.
