the commission for higher education, must notify the parent and the
student that enrollment in the course may affect the student's ability to
attend a particular postsecondary educational institution or enroll in a
particular course at a particular postsecondary educational institution
because the course does not align with requirements established by the
state board under IC 20-30-10.
