College preparatory course providers who wish to participate must submit an application that includes narrative responses and data files indicating their interest in being considered an approved provider of a college preparatory course that counts toward the college, career, and military readiness (CCMR) credit in the public-school accountability system.
Through a comprehensive review process, ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆÁ will work with faculty reviewers to assess submitted application materials for college preparatory courses for public school accountability. Each college preparatory course approved for public school accountability will be assigned a unique Service ID enabling data collection related to participation and outcomes.
To be considered an approved provider of college preparatory courses that count toward the CCMR credit in the public-school accountability system, course providers participated in an application process. The results of this evaluation can be found below for English Language Arts and Mathematics. The ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆÁ (ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆÁ) will implement the list of approved providers for College Preparatory Courses beginning in the 2026–2027 school year.
The agency will continue to add newly approved providers to the list each fall as additional evaluation data becomes available.
The ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆÁ (ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆÁ) has issued a set of unique course codes for College Preparatory Courses (CPC), derived from submissions received through the College Preparatory Courses for College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) application process.
School districts are expected to implement these course codes beginning with the 2025–2026 academic year. The adoption of these standardized codes will enhance the Agency’s ability to accurately identify CPC partnerships statewide and to monitor student participation with individual providers.

This change will be reflected in the changes made to the proposed manual for 2026 ratings, which will be adopted in June.
