One student through the dual enrollment program, from consent to a posted registration
Bảo Trần, grade 11 at Port Amity High School in Marlow Bay Unified, wants ENG 101-31, Composition I, at Brandvale Community College. It is Monday, January 11, 2027, and dual enrollment registration closes Friday at 5:00 PM. Here is his registration, screen by screen, in the working solution.

Each student is one row across the district and the college
Joelle Banks · Dual Enrollment CoordinatorThe registration board splits down the middle: Marlow Bay Unified on the left, Brandvale on the right. The district half holds counselor approval, parent consent and GPA; the college half holds placement, seat, instructor and grade. The joint in the middle closes only when both sides are complete, and Bảo's is open on “MOU 4.2 · GPA 2.94”.
Overnight the agents read 212 documents: 171 filled in their checks, 29 need a person, 12 went back to counselors with the reason.

The Vietnamese consent form, beside the English
Intake agentBảo's parent consent form is in Vietnamese, and it stays that way. “Tôi đồng ý cho con tôi đăng ký lớp ENG 101” sits beside “I agree to let my child enroll in ENG 101”, at 0.97 translation confidence against the 0.95 threshold. The signer, Trần Thị Lan, is his guardian of record in the district system, and the date 02/11/2026 is read day-first as November 2, 2026.

Every check cited, and the one clause that keeps it open
Joelle BanksEach check cites its source: placement 262, 26 of 28 seats in CRN 40231, and Hannah Lindgren qualified to teach it under credentialing review FC-26-0412. The GPA check shows 2.94 against the 3.0 that MOU clause 4.2 needs. The record also says who may see it: at Brandvale, Bảo holds the FERPA rights; at Port Amity, his mother does until he turns 18.
- 04Check the alternate path
The alternate path, found and drafted with every value cited
Eligibility agentThe agent reads clause 4.2 and the January 6 transcript, then finds clause 4.3: a counselor's recommendation with a placement of 250 or higher. Darnell Price's recommendation of January 7 and the 262 placement meet it. It re-checks the other clauses and drafts exception EX-27-0117 at 0.96 confidence, with five citations.
Only the counselor approves the district half and only the Dean approves an exception under clause 4.3.

The district half, approved with a reason code
Darnell Price · School CounselorDarnell approves for Marlow Bay Unified with reason code OVR-04, Counselor recommendation, and a note for the record. The decision is logged with his name, the time, the reason and the evidence.
“Bảo earned an A in English 11 Honors; I will meet him every two weeks.”

Both sides approved: the joint closes and the registration posts
Dr. Carmen Ilves · Dean of Dual EnrollmentThe Dean approves the college half under clause 4.3. Only then does the Registration agent post Bảo to ENG 101-31, CRN 40231, in the college student information system. It drafts the family notice in Vietnamese and English, and Joelle reviews and sends it.
- 07The rule behind it
The MOU, clause by clause, as the rules the agents apply
Eligibility agentClause 4.3 sits in the Marlow Bay Unified agreement for 2025–2028 with its text, the rule as the agent applies it, and this term's use: 41 approved, 11 waiting, 3 declined. Version 3, of May 2, 2026, raised the placement threshold from 240 to 250, approved by the Dean and co-signed by the district.
- 08Before a section opens
Instructor qualifications read once, from the college's own review
Credential agentOf 120 high-school-based instructors, 104 are qualified, 9 are on a credential plan, 4 are in review and 3 are not qualified, with their sections reassigned. The agent reads each decision, review number, approver and date and never re-checks it. Two sections whose instructor is still in review hold 17 students until the review closes.
- 09After the term
Every fall grade checked on the high school transcript
Transcript agentOf 2,618 fall 2026 college grades, 2,585 match the district transcript. 33 do not: 14 posted as P, 11 with half the credit, 6 missing and 2 under the wrong title. The agent drafts a correction for each; Joelle prepares the batch and Renée Castellano, the district registrar, approves it.
The agent writes nothing to the district record itself.
