College Credit Plus, also termed Dual Enrollment in some states, is a program that enables high school, or even middle school students, to take college courses for both college and high school credit.  Although these programs are a fantastic way for families to save money and expose students to higher learning opportunities, school districts may be faced with unexpected challenges when students with IEPs or 504 Plans take college classes.

Who is responsible for ensuring 504 accommodations at the university level?  Is a dually-enrolled high school student even entitled to IEP services in a college course? What should high school teams and counselors advise students with special education needs who may struggle with the higher demands and expectations of a College Credit Plus course?

Lisa and Miriam explore these questions and consider decisions from the Office for Civil Rights that shed light on school districts' obligations in these changing times.
