Sec. 3.

(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.
