year or other year-round program and begins each grade in the summer session, summer
sessions shall not be counted against the time of participation. If a school district determines
a pupil is not on track to graduate, the limit on participation does not apply to that pupil. A
pupil who has graduated from high school cannot participate in a program under this section.
A pupil who has completed course requirements for graduation but who has not received a
diploma may participate in the program under this section.

in postsecondary courses under this section outside of the regular school year, unless the
student has graduated from high school before enrolling in the postsecondary course.
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a student who enrolls in postsecondary courses
outside of the regular school year generates extended time revenue. A school district must
grant secondary credit to a pupil who completes a postsecondary course outside of the
regular school year.
