Sec. 3. (a) If the appropriate secondary school official determines, using the criteria and thresholds established in section 2 of this chapter, that a student before the fall semester, or the equivalent, in grade 11 is in need of remediation or supplemental instruction to prevent the need for remediation at a postsecondary educational institution or workforce development program, the appropriate school official shall inform the student’s parent:

(1) of the likelihood that the student will require remedial course work;

(2) of the potential financial impact on the student or the parent for the additional remedial course work described in subdivision (1), including that the student may not be eligible to receive state scholarships, grants, or assistance administered by the commission for higher education; and

(3) of the additional time that may be required to earn a degree;

while the student attends a postsecondary educational institution or workforce development program. The appropriate secondary school official may establish a remediation or supplemental instruction plan with the student’s parent.

     (b) Before a student determined to need additional instruction or remedial action under subsection (a) with respect to a particular subject matter may enroll in a dual credit course under IC 21-43 in the same subject matter or a related subject matter, the student may receive additional instruction or remedial course work and must retake the examination described in section 2 of this chapter if it is required in the guidelines established by the state board under section 1 of this chapter. If the appropriate school official determines that the student no longer requires additional instruction or remedial action under the guidelines established under section 2 of this chapter, after retaking the exam under this section, the student may enroll in a dual credit course under IC 21-43. The cost of the administration of an exam under this subsection shall be paid by the department.
