SUMMARY:Midwest Student Exchange Program: Cost Savings Finder Tech Forum and User Focus Group
DESCRIPTION:MHEC is exploring the development of a Cost Savings Finder tool to make it easier for students and families to find and compare tuition savings options — including Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP) discounts\, reciprocity agreements\, and non-differential tuition programs. \nBy consolidating these opportunities into one accessible platform\, the Cost Savings Finder aims to make tuition and affordability information easier to find\, more transparent\, and comparable across states — helping students and families make informed postsecondary choices. \nIncrease Discount Transparency: Your insights can help us design a more robust and scalable technology platform — key to increasing awareness of tuition discounts in the Midwest\, helping more students achieve significant tuition savings. \nSolve Data Pipeline Challenges: We’ll explore best practices for moving\, updating\, and ensuring the quality and refresh rate of institutional data (e.g.\, tuition\, program availability) on the proposed Cost Savings Finder tool to guarantee students have the most accurate information. \nShape AI and Data Sharing Policy: We’ll discuss the technical architecture and compliance needed for data sharing agreements\, including potential uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the development of responsible AI and data governance policies. \nInform High-Level Decisions: This forum offers a chance to directly influence the future of a major regional student exchange resource. Your recommendations will guide MHEC’s approach to system security\, data compliance\, and responsible AI implementation. \nYour contributions will help ensure this initiative reflects the highest standards of technological integrity\, usability\, and regional collaboration. \nYour expertise is also vital to ensuring the Cost Savings Finder is built on a strong and sustainable information foundation. In particular\, we’re seeking input from professionals who can help us: \n \n\nExplore early concepts and potential designs for the tool.\nDiscuss how different audiences—students\, families\, counselors\, and institutions—might use it.\nIdentify ways to ensure the tool is intuitive\, accurate\, and appropriate to meet the needs of users.\n\nYour feedback will be critical in shaping how users interact with the Cost Savings Finder and how it can most effectively serve the region. \n \nFor more information contact Carrie Wandler\, Senior Director of Policy Initiatives.

SUMMARY:Sharing the Cost: Insights from States Funding Dual Enrollment to Expand Access
DESCRIPTION:One of the most pressing barriers to dual enrollment access\, enrollment\, and attainment is the patchwork nature of how dual enrollment is funded. States vary widely in their models\, with some providing robust\, sustainable streams of funding while others placing the cost burden on K-12 systems\, postsecondary institutions\, or even families and students themselves. How states design and implement dual enrollment funding policies has a direct impact on which students can participate and thrive. \nOver the past decade\, several states have reimagined their funding models\, resulting in meaningful gains in participation and attainment. In this webinar\, Bellwether staff member Krista Kaput will share insights and lessons learned from their 2025 report\, Sharing the Cost: Insights from States Funding Dual Enrollment to Expand Access. The report includes case studies on California\, Idaho\, Minnesota\, and Texas\, highlighting how state funding models can serve as levers for expanding access\, participation\, and attainment in dual enrollment. \nPresenter: \nKrista Kaput\, Senior Analyst\, Bellwether \nPanelists will explore: \n\nThe fiscal and policy trade-offs states navigate when structuring dual enrollment funding systems;\nState-level funding strategies that directly affect student access and participation\, with examples of promising models;\nTargeted investments that can open the door for various student groups;\nKey lessons from states that have successfully advanced equitable access through policy reform.

SUMMARY:Concurrent Enrollment (CE) Instructors and the Fallout of the HLC CE Credentialing Clarification
DESCRIPTION:Concurrent enrollment (dual credit) instructors\, and their high school administrators\, were interviewed for two peer reviewed and published research studies over the impact of the various Higher Learning Commission credentialing changes from the last decade. Through the lens of principal-agent theory\, the studies highlight the reasoning\, variables\, and commonalities behind why concurrent enrollment instructors did or did not complete the required coursework before credentialing deadlines to maintain their eligibility as a concurrent enrollment instructor\, and how those thoughts aligned and diverged from their high school administrators. Recommendations for future policy decisions around concurrent enrollment instructor credentialing will be offered. \nPresenter\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMark Schneider\, Ph.D. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Access to and Success in Dual Enrollment Courses in Indiana and North Carolina
DESCRIPTION:Based on ongoing evaluations of dual credit programs in Indiana and North Carolina\, the session will provide an overview of the variation in dual enrollment implementation practices and factors affecting students’ access to and success in college-level courses in these two states. The results are based on administrative participation and performance data in North Carolina and data collected through surveys and interviews in both states. One state predominantly uses high school teachers as dual credit instructors and another one primarily uses college instructors. As a result\, there are challenges that are unique to each state for high school and college partners providing access to and promoting success in dual enrollment classes. \nThere are also implementation challenges that are common across the states. In addition\, a variety of other factors can impact implementation\, which include staff’s attitudes\, the quality of the high school-higher ed partnership\, student recruitment and awareness\, personnel\, financial factors\, and district and college policies. The presentation will address the ways in which factors that affect student success in dual enrollment also affect student access to dual enrollment courses and will propose strategies to increase both access and success to help students historically underrepresented in college take and succeed in dual enrollment courses. \nParticipants will learn about dual enrollment programs in Indiana and North Carolina and the factors that affect student participation and success. \nPresenters\nNina ArshavskyNina Arshavsky is a Senior Research Specialist at the Early College Research Center/SERVE Center at UNC-Greensboro. Dr. Arshavsky’s research and evaluation projects focus on STEM\, dual credit\, and early college model\, which she has been studying for over 16 years. Dr. Arshavsky is a co-author of the book\, published in 2022 by Harvard Education Press\, that describes research and evaluation on early colleges: Early Colleges as a Model for Schooling: Creating New Pathways for Access to Higher Education. Dr. Arshavsky is involved in evaluation of two Early College expansion projects in Indiana and an evaluation of a state-wide dual enrollment program in North Carolina. \nDr. Julie Edmunds is Director of the Early College Research Center at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where she leads a team of researchers looking at early college\, dual enrollment\, career pathways\, and postsecondary access and success. She has been studying early college and dual enrollment for 20 years and has authored or co-authored over 30 articles and a book\, Early Colleges as a Model for Schooling: Creating New Pathways for Access to Higher Education. Dr. Edmunds has also been a program analyst for the U.S. Department of Education\, an elementary school teacher\, and a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. \n\n
