AN ACT IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE OFFICE OF HIGHER EDUCATION, EXPANDING DUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES AND CONCERNING COLLEGE READINESS AND REMEDIAL SUPPORT PROGRAMS AT THE CONNECTICUT STATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES AND INFORMATION REPORTED TO THE CREDENTIAL DATABASE.

HB 6445, now Public Act 25-99, expands dual credit opportunities for high school students at Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU) and improves college readiness support. The bill requires CSCU institutions to implement recommendations from the Office of Higher Education regarding remedial support programs, ensuring students needing extra academic help before college-level courses receive structured assistance. It also mandates reporting specific student progress data to a state credential database to track outcomes. The law directly affects CSCU campuses, their students, and high school partners offering dual credit courses.
