6.4. Changes to Concurrent Enrollment Master List -USHE institutions, after consultation with LEAs, shall provide the USBE with proposed new course offerings, including syllabi and curriculum materials by November 15 of the year preceding the school year in which courses shall be offered.

6.5. Number of Courses - In general, institutions should limit the number of concurrent enrollment courses so they can focus on quality instruction and assure coordinated professional development activities for participating teachers and transferability of credit from institution to institution.

6.6. Institution Responsibility - The offering institution is responsible for course content, procedures, examinations, teaching materials, and monitoring of CE courses taught at a high school. The institution shall ensure the curriculum is consistent with Utah law and of comparable rigor and quality with courses offered on the institution campus. The institution shall ensure CE curriculum standards of instruction, practices for administering and grading assessments, and the course grade rubric are the same as when the course is taught on the institution campus. When possible, department exams should be used in the CE course. For courses that transfer as equivalent credit among USHE institutions, the institution will ensure articulated learning outcomes are met.
