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 high school. Utah uses 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 college/university, online, or via interactive video conferencing. Hereafter, we will use the term dual/concurrent enrollment as an umbrella term and concurrent enrollment when specifically referencing Utah’s program.  \nBased on JFF’s research and interviews with Utah State Board of Education and Utah System of Higher Education officials, Utah stands out as a leader in building the necessary statewide policy infrastructure for dual/concurrent enrollment. In JFF’s policy dashboard, Utah has adopted 10 of the 12 recommended policies, including one of the least commonly adopted across all 50 states: requiring advising on dual/concurrent enrollment transfer.  \nUtah is one of only 16 states that includes dual/concurrent enrollment success/participation as an accountability indicator in two or more systems.  \nUtah was one of the country’s early adopters of dual/concurrent enrollment, with the legislature formally establishing the  program in 1988. Concurrent enrollment has seen major growth in Utah since then. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, 1/3 of all public high schoolers participated in concurrent enrollment and only 4 other states had participation rates over 30%.  \nSTATE POLICY CONDITIONS FOR DUAL ENROLLMENT: UTAH 1  \nUtah’s success is supported by the collaboration structure embedded in state law. Utah state law dictates that the Utah State Board of Education and the Utah System of Higher Education must collaborate on administering concurrent enrollment. Specifically, the two bodies must work together on the concurrent enrollment course approval and transfer process to ensure learning outcomes for concurrent enrollment courses align with the core standards for Utah public schools.  \nOver time, the state has sought to improve and expand its concurrent enrollment offerings. In 2025, the First Credential Program was legislatively created to ensure all Utah students have “the opportunity to graduate from high school with a meaningful, industry-aligned credential that supports college credit, career readiness, and lifelong learning.” Concurrent enrollment is a key piece of the First Credential puzzle—completing 12-18 core general education concurrent enrollment credits or completing a state-designated set of courses is one of five pathways to earning an initial credential that will help students succeed after high school. The structured collaboration between the Utah System of Higher Education and the Utah State Board of Education to provide a variety of concurrent enrollment courses, strong evaluation processes, and specialized programs like the First Credential Program positions Utah as a model for other state policymakers.  \nUtah Concurrent Enrollment Participation  \n32% of Utah public high schoolers participated in concurrent enrollment in the ‘22-’23 school year.  \n31% of community college enrollment consisted of concurrent enrollment students in the ‘23-’24 school year.  \n27% of four-year university enrollment consisted of concurrent enrollment students in the ‘23-’24 school year.  \nSo","cbCaieS7UEluSUxM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieS7UEluSUxM","pdf",522240,"English","# Utah\n## Terminology and State Leadership\n## State Policy Conditions for Dual Enrollment: Utah 1\n## Utah Concurrent Enrollment Participation\n## Standout State Policies and Implementation\n### Data Collection, Reporting, and Accountability\n### Actionable Data and Outcomes","[{\"question\":\"How does Utah use data for accountability and program improvement?\",\"answer\":\"Utah incorporates dual/concurrent enrollment success and/or participation data into the Every Student Succeeds Act system and Utah’s own accountability system and conducts trainings and follow-up conversations to close participation gaps by 2030.\"}]","STATE POLICY CONDITIONS FOR DUAL ENROLLMENT - UTAH | PDF",1792054516]
