[WSSSC] [EXTERNAL]Re: Dual Credit Council Proposal from IC

[Robert Cox]

Good evening!
We will need to work with IC this summer to determine how to make this group as effective as possible. There will need to be significant WSSSC involvement and IC is excited about that.

There is much work to be done to get organized and drive the dual credit programs in the direction we want them to go. This group will provide that.

Thank you for the information, Jamie.  With RS and CiHS (and CTE Dual Credit) growing I am happy to see that there is a proposed dedicated council to this work. Thank you for your work on this.  Would someone from WSSC be part of this council?

Subject: Dual Credit Council Proposal for Community and Technical Colleges



**Attention all Washington Community and Technical Colleges**



Dear Colleagues,



We’re pleased to share that during the Instruction Commission’s spring meeting, a proposal to establish a new Dual Credit Council—encompassing CTE Dual Credit, College in the High School (CiHS), and Running Start (RS)—was officially approved.



The proposal is now under review by the Washington Association for Community and Technical Colleges (WACTC) and is scheduled for a vote by your college presidents this Friday.



What the Dual Credit Council Will Do:

The Council will serve as a formal structure to support and strengthen dual credit programs across the state. Its key responsibilities include:



  *   Collaborating with State Agencies to align goals and maintain a unified vision for dual credit.
  *   Informing Policy by providing proactive legislative recommendations that support community and technical colleges.
  *   Creating Advising Tools such as brochures and materials to promote awareness and best practices.
  *   Streamlining Processes for admissions, course building, transcription, and credit transfer.
  *   Developing Unified Messaging to ensure consistent communication across institutions and stakeholders.



Should you or your leadership have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Stephanie or me directly. We’ll follow up soon with the outcome of the vote and next steps regarding council membership and participation.



Thank you for your continued support of dual credit initiatives.
