MI HB6250

Replaces discretionary rules for students enrolled in high school more than 4 years with specific criteria for fifth-year high school students to be eligible under the Career and Technical Preparation Act.

Fifth-year students not in early/middle college programs must not have met high school diploma requirements, be enrolled in no more than 2 eligible courses at one time (4 total per school year), and have a graduation completion plan signed by school administrator, parent/guardian, and student.

Fifth-year students in early/middle college programs need only satisfy the requirement that they have not met all diploma requirements to be eligible.

Establishes a 10-course total limit for fifth-year students across both the Career and Technical Preparation Act and the Postsecondary Enrollment Options Act, unless waived by written agreement between school and postsecondary institution.

Defines "early/middle college" as a public high school designed to allow students to earn a high school diploma plus an associate degree, industry-recognized certification, up to 60 transferable college credits, or registered apprenticeship participation.
