W YO M I N G C O M M U N I T Y C O L L E G E C O M M ISS I O N To the Joint Education Interim Committee [Pursuant to W.S. 21-20-201 Section 1,(e)] 10/01/25 Report on Postsecondary Education Options Program Introduction The legislature has directed the Wyoming Community College Commission (WCCC) to develop a report to the Joint Interim Education Committee, the community colleges, the Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) and the University of Wyoming (UW) on statewide, postsecondary education options program revenues, expenditures, and student participation and completion. Senate Enrolled Act 52 (2010 Budget Session), hereafter referred to as SEA-52, amended the Postsecondary Education Options Program Act (PEOP) to mandate that high schools, postsecondary institutions, UW and community colleges, enter into agreements regarding dual enrollment (DE) and concurrent enrollment (CE) programs. The Consensus Council, created under SEA-52 in collaboration with stakeholders, requested that the WCCC Academic Affairs Council (AAC) design a template for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for both concurrent enrollment and for dual enrollment, to be used statewide by all school districts, and community college partners. These two common MOU templates were designed, and first utilized for, the 2010-2011 academic year by the school districts and the seven community colleges. There are concurrent enrollment and/or dual enrollment MOUs between all 48 school districts and at least one of the seven community colleges or UW. Academic year 2013-2014 marked the first year all school districts had such an MOU. SEA-52 amended the PEOP Act requiring the annual reporting of student enrollment, finances and completion data by school districts, BOCHES, BOCES, community colleges and UW. Note: Information for this report is obtained by many different sources including UW, the seven community colleges, WDE (who obtain their information from Wyoming school districts) and participating Wyoming BOCES/BOCHES. Since its inception, this report has reflected conflicting datasets between sources for several reasons including differing data collection timelines and misalignments in agency fiscal reporting and enrollment mechanisms. In August 2024, a comprehensive discussion occurred with school district, community college, WCCC and BOCES/BOCHES personnel and important information arose as to the factors influencing the inconsistent data reported between agencies. It was determined the most logical approach to reporting this data included the colleges being the only entity reporting tuition and fees and concurrent and dual enrollment, and the K-12 school districts only report additional expenditures that are beyond the tuition and fees paid to the colleges. * This report is reflective of those changes.

FAQs

What legislative actions govern dual enrollment and concurrent enrollment reporting in this report?

Senate Enrolled Act 52 (SEA-52) amended the Postsecondary Education Options Program Act (PEOP) to require agreements and annual reporting for dual enrollment (DE) and concurrent enrollment (CE) programs among high schools, UW, and community colleges.

Why were datasets inconsistent across agencies, and how is reporting adjusted?

Inconsistencies arose from different data collection timelines and mismatches between agency fiscal reporting and enrollment mechanisms. The report determines a more logical approach: colleges report tuition and fees and both concurrent and dual enrollment data, while K-12 districts report additional expenditures beyond those payments.

What do the 2024-2025 enrollment and completion figures describe?

They summarize unduplicated headcounts and credit hours enrolled and completed for CE and DE across the seven community colleges and UW, including concurrent enrollment taught by qualified high school faculty and dual enrollment administered through college and UW offerings.
