student under a dual credit program provided under an agreement 
between the student's high school and an institution of higher 
education and which, if any, of those courses the student

certificate of coursework completion.

student's high school career as a result of course scheduling, lack 
of enrollment capacity, or another cause not within the student's 
control, the school district, [shall indicate that fact] on the 
student's transcript form described by Subsection (e), shall:
		(1)  indicate whether the student completed those 
courses necessary to complete the program that were available to
