Public Content This Early College/Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement between Northwest Florida State College (the College) and the Okaloosa County School District (the District) is in effect from August 15, 2013 to July 31, 2014. Early college/dual enrollment is one of the articulated acceleration mechanisms defined in Florida Statutes. The mission of dual enrollment, as specified by the Legislature, is three-fold: • to shorten the time necessary for a student to complete the requirements of a postsecondary degree and high school diploma • to broaden the scope of curricular options available to students, or • to increase the depth of study available for a particular subject. A District Articulation Committee will review this Agreement each year. Composition of the District Articulation Committee shall conform to Florida rule and law. Voting members shall be appointed by the appropriate superintendent or institutional president and shall represent Northwest Florida State College, Okaloosa County School District, and Walton County School District. Guests and additional non-voting members may also attend and participate in the meetings. This agreement may be amended or renewed from year-to-year by mutual agreement of the President of Northwest Florida State College and the Okaloosa County School Board. Summary of Major Changes By statute, the District will be invoiced $71.98 per credit hour for dual enrollment courses taken on the College campus during fall and spring terms in the 2013-2014 school year. The College agrees to provide a stipend of $100 per student per course to the District for invoiced registrations as mitigation for the cost of instructional materials. The minimum required GPA is changing from 3.0 weighted to 3.0 unweighted to be aligned with statute. Students taking dual enrollment during fall and spring terms in 2013-2014 will be grandfathered.
