Mechanism
Students commit while still in high school, so they have a multi-year plan before they start earning credit. Fewer of those credits end up as electives that do not count.
Preconditions
An active dual enrollment partnership between the high schools, the college and the university, with the coursework already aligned.
Owner, by role
Dual Enrollment Coordinator / High School Relations Office
Who can act
Both institutions jointly
Effort
Medium, 12 months to first visible effect
Outcome metric
Share of dual enrollment credit that applies; first-to-second-year retention
Failure modes
High school guidance counselors may not be trained on major-specific university prerequisite pathways, causing them to recommend generic courses.
Contra-indications
None stated
