Notwithstanding any other law, a high school may replace high school courses on the high school transcript with dual credit courses (as defined in IC 21-43-1-2.5 ), Cambridge International courses, or advanced placement courses on the same subject matter with equal or greater rigor to the required high school course and may count such a course as satisfying an Indiana diploma with a Core 40 with academic honors designation or another designation requirement. A dual credit course must be authorized by an eligible institution (as described in IC 21-43-4-3.5 ) that is a member of a national dual credit accreditation organization, or the eligible institution must make assurances that the final assessment for the course given for dual credit under this section is substantially equivalent to the final assessment given in the college course in that subject.
