2021-22 Guidelines for College Classes

1. Students must maintain an accumulative 3.0 or higher G.P.A. and have passed all classes before applying to join a college class.

2. Once admitted into college classes students must sustain a 3.0 or higher G.P.A. and not fail any classes. Failure of a college class may result in the student not participating in the concurrent enrollment program in the future. A grade of a D in a college class will result in an individual review that could exclude students from taking future college classes.

3. To be eligible for participation, student must have any and all school fees up-to-date and paid. This includes outstanding balances at other District schools. (See Promissory Note)

4. College classes may not substitute for core classes at Eagle Ridge Academy. Eagle Ridge Academy must follow the high school standards set forth by the State.

5. Students may only take 2 college classes each semester. Students will only be allowed to take a total of 9 classes per semester including college classes.

6. Students should complete all college classes that Front Range Community College offers at the ERA campus (29 credits) before applying to take any off-site or online courses.

7. Students wishing to earn an Associate’s Degree will need to take summer classes in order to finish the college degree before high school graduation. ERA does not pay for summer college classes, but will accept the credit if the student brings an official transcript from Front Range Community College.

8. ERA pays tuition of the college class if the student receives an A, B, or C in the class. If the student receives a D or F the family must refund ERA for the full cost of the class’s tuition.

9. Front Range Community College fees and books are the financial responsibility of the guardian/student in all cases.

10. ERA reserves the right to revoke or deny participation in the concurrent enrollment program if any current or past disruptive behaviors are reported. Any financial penalties incurred are the financial responsibility of the student and family.
