The procedures for statewide portability require demonstration that the relevant competencies are addressed and that the required policies are met. Success is based on mastery of process and content competencies, which demonstrate readiness for college courses, rather than on a single test score.
The Statewide Portability Panel will respond to each partnership after the spring or fall panel meeting with confirmation of approval or comments on changes needed to achieve portability. Decisions granted are approved, conditional approval, not enough information, or returned. Each course approved by the Statewide Portability Panel ensures statewide portability for all high schools in the partnership offering that course.
The Portability Panel is accepting courses for approval. The submission deadlines are:
- October 1 for the fall panel
- March 1 for the spring panel
Documentation for portability must be received by the deadline and submitted by the community college partner via iPlacement. To be eligible for portability, a Local Advisory Panel (LAP) must be established between the school district and community college with representation from both entities. See the transitional instruction resources for guidance on establishing partnerships and LAPs and details on the submission processes.
