To become a dual enrollment provider, the high school should initiate contact with the Assistant Vice President for Academic Programs at [email protected] to request more information or reach out to specific Dual Enrollment Course Instructors of Record for details on the desired course(s). Regardless of the individual contacted, the Assistant Vice President for Academic Programs is the only person that can facilitate a partnership between Southeastern Louisiana University and a high school.
Once a high school decides to partner with Southeastern, the next step will be to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between either the school and Southeastern (non-public and charter schools) or between the school district and Southeastern (public schools). Each year, on or around April 15, high schools receive the MOU for the upcoming academic year. The MOU should be completed and returned no later than May 15. Upon receiving the completed and signed MOU, Southeastern administrators will sign the MOU, and a fully-executed copy will be sent to the high school and system offices.
Once the MOU is in place, the high school Principal must insure that all high school teachers have signed up for their respective Southeastern’s summer Dual Enrollment Workshops. These are mandatory and a list is distributed to current high schools and district offices in late January/early February of each year. This information can also be found on Southeastern’s Dual Enrollment website.
High schools must insure that they have an individual that coordinates Dual Enrollment on the high school campus and that serves as the “point of contact” or Dual Enrollment Coordinator to Southeastern. This is the person that will receive day-to-day communications from Southeastern regarding the program and that will assist Southeastern in the overall administration of the program on the high school campus including registration, enrollment, adding, dropping and withdrawing.
Each partner high school must have approved high school faculty that assist in the facilitation of dual enrollment courses at the high school. Each high school facilitator must attend a mandatory workshop during the summer provided free of charge by Southeastern. During the workshop the high school facilitator will work directly with the Southeastern instructor of record to cover course content, create a syllabus and a pacing guide and cover all policies and procedures required to facilitate the Southeastern course on their campus. All learning materials and assessments are provided by Southeastern.
