DUAL CREDIT APPROVAL PROCESS The State process involves a National
Alliance for Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP) -like method developed specifically for State institutions (public and independent) who are not NACEP accredited

Schools may also choose to establish a program with an out-of-state NACEP accredited provider.
This ICHE endorsement and/or NACEP accreditation are a quality control assurance that high schools should consider when entering in to a partnership.
