In 2026, Jobs for the Future (JFF) created a dashboard to analyze and track state adoption of 12 College in High School Alliance (CHSA) recommended policies to strengthen access to and quality of dual enrollment programs.  \nTerminology  \nStates use different terms for dual enrollment, including concurrent enrollment, dual credit, and early college highschool. Iowa uses the term concurrent enrollment to encompass multiple modes of delivery for earning college credit while in high school, including courses taught at a high school by a qualified instructor, at a community college, or online. Hereafter, we will use the term dual/concurrent enrollment as an umbrella term and concurrent enrollment when specifically referencing Iowa’s program.  \nIowa has adopted 10 out of 12 recommended policies, includingthe three least commonly adopted (see below), making thema leader in building the necessary statewide policy infrastructure for dual/concurrent enrollment, according to JFF’s research and interviews with state education officials.  \nIowa is one of only 8 states that has a mechanism to assess dual/concurrent enrollment quality.  \nIowa is one of only 11 states that has disaggregated dual/ concurrent enrollment data by all of the following students groups.  \nRace/Ethnicity, Gender, Economic Status, Disability Status, English Language Learner Status  \nIowa is one of only 13 states to require student advising on the transferability of dual/concurrent enrollment credits.  \nIowa launched the Senior Year Plus initiative in 2008 to increase high schoolers’ access to college credit through opportunities like Advanced Placement, concurrent enrollment, and career academies. The program attempts to bridge the divide between high school and postsecondary education while eliminating costs for students. In the years since, the state has continued to advocate for and improve Senior Year Plus opportunities, including the expansion of intentional concurrent enrollment  \nSTATE POLICY CONDITIONS FOR DUAL ENROLLMENT: IOWA 1  \ncourses and directing attention to student groups underrepresented in concurrent enrollment. The state’s policy conditions governing concurrent enrollment have enabled progress toward these goals. Iowa’s actionable data systems, cross-system collaboration, advising strategies, funding model, and expansion of key courses have proven valuable and can serve as lessons for other states to consider in their dual/concurrent enrollment programs.  \nIowa Concurrent Enrollment Participation  \n% High School Students Participating in Dual/Concurrent Enrollment  \n33% of Iowa public highschoolers participated in concurrent enrollment in the‘22-’23 school year.  \n45% of Iowa community college enrollment consisted of concurrent enrollment students in the ‘23-’24 school year.  \n50%  \n40%  \n30%  \n20%  \n10%  \n0%  \n5 highest-ranking states (2022-23 school year)  \n\n| 45% |  |\n| --- | --- |\n|  | 40%\u003Cbr>33% 32% |\n|  | 31% |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n\nIdaho Indiana Iowa Utah Minnesota  \nSource 1: [https://media. nacep.org/docs/briefs/IPEDS_NationaDualEnrollmentNumbers_FINAL.pdf](https://media. nacep.org/docs/briefs/IPEDS_NationaDualEnrollmentNumbers_FINAL.pdf)  \nSource 2: [https://ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/easyblog/high-school-dual-enrollment-grows.html](https://ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/easyblog/high-school-dual-enrollment-grows.html)   \nSource:  \n[https://media. nacep.org/docs/briefs/IPEDS_NationaDualEnrollmentNumbers_FINAL.pdf](https://media. nacep.org/docs/briefs/IPEDS_NationaDualEnrollmentNumbers_FINAL.pdf)   \nStandout State Policies and Implementation  \nData Collection, Reporting, and Ac","cbCaiuGt3Nl6Mcaf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuGt3Nl6Mcaf","pdf",366952,"English","# Terminology\n# Iowa Policy Conditions and Adoption\n## Iowa’s Recommended Policies\n# Iowa Concurrent Enrollment Participation\n# Standout State Policies and Implementation\n## Data Collection, Reporting, and Accountability\n## Program Integrity, Credit Transfer, and Advising","[{\"question\":\"What is the role of dual enrollment in improving student outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"Dual enrollment is described as a strategy that improves high school graduation, college enrollment, and eventual degree completion by allowing students to earn postsecondary credits through college coursework.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Iowa define dual enrollment, and what umbrella terms are used?\",\"answer\":\"Iowa uses the term concurrent enrollment to cover multiple ways to earn college credit while in high school.
