IMPORTANCE OF DUAL CREDIT COURSE SET-UP FOR TRANSITION READINESS
To receive credit for Transition Readiness under Kentucky's new Accountability System during the 2018-2019 school year for reporting Fall 2019, each student's dual credit enrollment must be set up correctly in Infinite Campus (IC). Academic and CTE Dual Credit courses are set up slightly differently; however, for all Dual Credit courses it is imperative to follow the naming conventions and course set up detailed in the Dual Credit Data Standard to ensure that records match those of the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) for verification purposes.
Academic Dual Credit courses need to be assigned one of the 800000 Dual Credit course codes. The course code to be used is determined by the category the course has been given by the post-secondary institution offering the course. More information on the categories can be found in section 3. iii. of the Transition Readiness Academic Readiness KDE Approved Dual Credit Guidance Document.
CTE Dual Credit courses DO NOT typically use the 800000 course codes. CTE dual credit should, in almost every case, be coded to the regular CTE course code that most closely aligns to the content of the college course that is being offered. For example, Murray State’s AGR 182 Introduction to Pre-Vet Science should use the Veterinary Science 020511 state course code. This also means that based on the course code chosen for the CTE dual credit course, there would typically be no need to request a modification to the student’s career pathway, because 020511 Veterinary Science already counts in the appropriate pathway. Check the career pathways offered at your school to determine if the secondary code you are using for the dual credit course is already valid for your pathway, prior to submitting a modification request.
