Official program source ↗Confirm student, institution, course and term eligibility before assigning funding to a proposal.
Online delivery was not established by the sources reviewed. Confirm course-level permission with the college; this is not evidence that virtual delivery is prohibited.
Confirm the transcript-issuing college, high-school equivalency and applicability to the student’s intended college award. An industry credential requires its own assessment and issuer; a digital badge is not automatically college credit.

Pearson dual enrollment ↗Evaluate eDynamic Learning curriculum and simulations for preparation; evaluate Certiport for relevant credential assessments and Credly for credential communication. These roles are separate from awarding academic college credit.
State gaps & Pearson product crosswalk →Proposed responsibilities for human review—not assigned Pearson staffing or commitments.
