Complete·5/29/26

Louisiana HB649 mandates a statewide application process for dual enrollment programs.

Louisiana HB649 requires the Board of Regents, in consultation with the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, to establish and administer a uniform, statewide application process for high school students to apply to participate in dual enrollment programs. Every public postsecondary education institution must participate unless it provides written notice of non-participation to its management board. The law also mandates the Board of Regents to manage grants and establish rules for notice of non-participation and re-entry into participation.
