Board approves UTRGV/STC dual-enrollment crosswalks for high‑school credit
Summary
Trustees approved crosswalk agreements aligning college coursework from UTRGV and STC to high-school credit; Dean Veronica Lopez confirmed the alignment equates one semester of college coursework to one high‑school credit.
Trustees approved the UTRGV/STC dual-enrollment crosswalks to ensure proper high-school-credit alignment for participating students. Dean of Instruction Veronica Lopez told the board that the documents clearly indicate that one semester of a college course equals one high-school credit, and Superintendent Morris said the crosswalks were developed with guidance from both institutions.
Trustee Cecilia Garza asked whether a board policy change was required; Superintendent Morris said no policy amendment is necessary now and any future policy changes would apply to incoming classes rather than students already participating under the current crosswalks.
