This bill amends the existing law regarding dual and concurrent enrollment for high school students in the community college system of New Hampshire. It allows students to receive funding for up to four dual or concurrent enrollment courses in each of grades 10, 11, and 12, with the stipulation that each funded course shall not exceed four credits. Additionally, students are permitted to take more than four courses per year at their own expense. The bill emphasizes that these provisions are subject to policies adopted by the community college system of New Hampshire.

The bill also includes a deletion of the previous language that allowed for courses exceeding four credits to be funded, thereby clarifying the funding limits. The effective date of the bill is set for 60 days after its passage, which is anticipated to be June 21, 2026. This legislative change aims to enhance oversight and structure for dual enrollment programs, ensuring that students have clear guidelines regarding their course options and funding.
