1. A. Students enrolled in the career enrichment courses (CEC) or any other associate high school program must meet the following requirements before enrolling for any course as follows:

   1. (1) proof of completion of the second year of high school or its equivalent (i.e. only juniors and seniors can participate);
   2. (2) proof that student is at least sixteen years of age;
   3. (3) submission of a complete student registration form and required fees through the associate school licensed under this act.

2. B. In order for students to receive credit for attendance in high school related programs, such as CEC or EXCEL or others, the high school must certify the training provided and send that documentation to the licensed school that has registered the student. The licensed school will report the hours or equivalent credit to the state board and identify the type of student on a separate form designated by the board upon completion of the high school training program. The following restrictions apply:

   1. (1) Students participating in high school programs cannot earn more than fifteen percent of the program in the high school facility.
   2. (2) The licensed school must provide the student with an OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF TRAINING for all hours or equivalent credit earned under the high school program because the board office retains those records for only one year.
