Position Statement of the

 AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF

 TWO-YEAR COLLEGES

 Guidelines for Dual Enrollment in Mathematics

 

Dual enrollment programs are programs in which a high school student enrolls in a postsecondary institution and may earn credit in both sectors simultaneously (Beyond Crossroads, chapter 8, lines 10-20).

 The mathematics faculty at the two-year college should set the standards for and participate in faculty selection, course content and prerequisites, assessments, and evaluation for mathematics courses in the dual enrollment program. 

 High school students should receive college credit in mathematics for established college level courses if they complete those courses with a grade of C or better.  College level mathematics courses are defined as those courses articulated with a four-year institution.
