8. Consideration/Possible Action regarding Dual Credit Memorandum of Understanding with The University of Texas System (UTRGV) for the 2025 - 2027 cycle.
Presenter:
Edgar Garza
Description:
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) is excited to release the latest Dual Credit Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the 2025-2027 cycle. Having this MOU in place will continue to open the door for qualified students from Roma ISD to continue enrolling in dual credit courses through UTRGV. As you know, dual credit students at UTRGV have the opportunity to challenge themselves academically and begin their postsecondary education early by completing rigorous university-level core courses. Please note that the current MOU for 2023-25 will expire on August 31, so this new MOU would need to be signed and executed on or before that date in order for students registered in Fall 2025 courses to maintain their enrollment eligibility. Our organizations have enjoyed a longstanding partnership for dual credit, and I sincerely look forward to building on the program’s success.
