Certain disclosures and implementation of a corequisite model related to developmental courses required, and report required.
This bill requires public postsecondary institutions in Minnesota that receive student financial aid to replace traditional uncredited developmental courses with a corequisite model for English classes. Under this model, students would enroll directly in credit-bearing college-level courses while receiving concurrent academic support, rather than taking non-credit preparatory courses first. The legislation also mandates that institutions provide clear written explanations to students about the differences between credit and non-credit courses, along with a signed acknowledgment of understanding. Additionally, the bill requires the state commissioner to establish guidelines for implementing corequisite support, provide technical assistance to schools making the transition, and publish annual reports on student placement and completion data.
