Concurrent Enrollment BUTTE COLLEGE

Concurrent Enrollment Student (Chico High / Butte College)

A Chico High School student participating in concurrent enrollment is enrolled in college-level courses at Butte College (or any California Community College) while still attending high school. Through this program, students earn both high school and college credit simultaneously, allowing them to get a head start on their college education. Concurrently enrolled students are expected to demonstrate strong time management, responsibility, and academic readiness as they balance high school requirements with the increased rigor and independence of college coursework.

Where Concurrent Enrollment Classes Are Held?

Concurrent enrollment courses can occasionally be scheduled at these centers depending on course offerings and availability—but the main campus and online are the standard locations.
