   - **Question:  We have students who take Dual-Enrollment Courses during the summer.  They give us their college-course transcript and we enter those directly into their Transcript in the PLSIS.  How do we assure the school gets credit for those courses during EOY reporting?** \\ **Answer:** Unfortunately, the school will only get credit for those courses that the student takes during his/her regular school year and __NOT for courses taken outside of the regular school year.__ \\ \\ Only if the student has an active enrollment in the school at the same time he/she is taking a dual-enrollment course that will be reported in CALPADS EOY (End-of-Year Reporting)for the active school year will they receive dual-enrollment credit on the State Dashboards. \\ \\
   - **Question: What is a Post-Secondary Articulated College Course?** \\ **Answer:** A Post-Secondary Articulated College Course is taught at the school by an instructor who has received the course syllabus from the college and who has permission from the college to teach a college course. The school actually completes articulation paperwork from the college and submits that paperwork for approval.  After approval, the course then becomes a Articulated College Course and qualifies for Dual-Enrollment in CALPADS. \\ \\
-  - **Question: You suggested that we use the College Course Description in the Description area of the course Edit page.  Can you give an example?** \\ **Answer:** Here are some examples of College Courses descriptions that are typically available through online catalogs: \\**FRC CHEM 102 - GENERAL CHEMISTRY I** 4 LEC; 3 LAB, 5 UNITS CSU (B1, B3), UC (S), IGETC (5A, 5C) This is the first semester of a one-year course in chemistry intended for majors in the natural sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, pre-medicine), mathematics, and engineering. Prerequisite: MATH 018 or the equivalent. <wrap tip>**//(School Pathways Note: Because credit in this course could be transferred to CSU/UC, this course is not only a-g but can also be marked as Honors)//**</wrap> \\ \\ ** Lassen CC – CHEM 45 – Introduction to Chemistry ** 4.0 units CSU/UC (unit limitation) General Education Area A CSU GE Areas B1 & B3 IGETC Area 5A & 5C C-ID CHEM 101 Prerequisite: One year of high school algebra, or MATH 103 or equivalent placement through the assessment process. 51 hours lecture/51 hours lab An introduction to chemistry, principally inorganic. Emphasis is on basic concepts and skills. This course is for students with no prior chemistry and is intended a preparation for major’s in chemistry, allied health, and general education. <wrap tip>**__(School Pathways Note: could be marked as honors)__**</wrap> \\ \\ **Lassen CC – MATH 103 – Elementary Algebra** 4.0 units Prerequisite: MATH 102 Basic College Mathematics or equivalent placement through the assessment process. 51 hours lecture/51 hours lab Introduction to algebra of real numbers; algebraic expressions, linear equations, exponents, polynomials, factoring, rational expressions and equations, graphing, inequalities, systems of equations, roots and radicals, quadratic equations, and applications. This course has been approved for online <wrap tip>__**(School Pathways Note: CAN NOT BE MARKED AS HONORS)**__</wrap> \\ \\
   - **Question: We are aware that schools grant additional credit for dual-enrollment courses. What is the recommended 'multiplier' for determining what that additional credit will be? \\ **Answer:** There isn't a specific recommended multiplier. This is determined by the school and is supported via Board Policy. For example, the school may determine that if the student is taking a **Chemistry Course** in one semester at the Community College, the school will be giving that student 10 Credits - a full year's credit - to the student for that one semester in college. The Board Policy would say that for one semester's grade at a CC, the school will grant 10 credits. \\ \\ Some schools prefer to "set a specific multiplier" instead. In some cases the multiplier may be 2.5 or even 3. In the case above, if the CC grants 4 Units for **Chemistry** the school may set their multiplier for 2.5 to come up with 10 Credits. Our best recommendation is for the school to determine what works best for them and add that to their Board Policy.
