ADULT HIGH SCHOOL Co-Enrolled (AHS-CoE)

A co-enrolled student is one who is currently enrolled in a high school program and is simultaneously taking
high school core credit courses in an adult high school program per Florida Statute §1011.80 (10). The
AHS Co-Enrolled (AHS-CoE) program provides students who are lacking credits necessary to obtain a
high school diploma with their cohort class, the opportunity to obtain those credits through the Adult
General Education High School program on a limited basis. Florida Statutes § 1004.01 and §1011.80
(10).

Definition

An AHS (CoE) student is one who:

● is currently enrolled in a high school program, and
● is taking high school core credit courses through adult education for credit recovery or dropout
prevention purposes (Florida Statute § 1011.80 (10))
● is at risk of not graduating with their 9th grade cohort
● does not have a pattern of excessive absenteeism or habitual truancy, or a history of disruptive
behavior.
Courses

State Board of Education Rule 6A-6.014 states that the District may temporarily assign individual
students of compulsory school age to one (1) or more classes offered in the adult general education
program where such students exhibit an educational need which can more effectively be served by the
adult general education program when such courses are required for high school graduation.
Appropriate documentation, as specified by the institution, shall be obtained prior to enrollment.

Co-enrolled students entering an adult high school course are limited to two core curricular courses for
credit recovery or dropout prevention per year. The course list for 2016-2017 is available at FLDOE,
Adult High School, 2016-2017 Co-Enrollment Course List.

The State of Florida Adult High School Curriculum Framework provides a minimum set of standards to
be used by all facilitators delivering adult high school education for both the co-enrolled courses.
(Florida State Department of Education Curriculum Framework for Adult High School for Co-Enrolled
Students.) Course requirements are in compliance with State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.09412.

State Board of Education Rule 6A-6.020 (1) prohibits, subject to an exception, the use of the AHS-CoE credit
program to qualify for high school graduation at an earlier date than that on which he or she would have
normally graduated through regular attendance in high school.
