Concurrent Enrollment is an academic program involving high school and college collaboration that allows qualified students to earn college credit by taking college courses taught at their high school.

Concurrent Enrollment classes are rigorous college-level courses. These classes use college textbooks, follow a college syllabus, and cover more material at a faster rate and at a more in-depth level than regular high school courses. CE courses use assessment instruments (tests) as specified by the sponsoring college departments.

All Concurrent Enrollment courses must lead to a certificate or degree program either fulfilling general education requirements or are elective courses that are listed as designated electives in a degree program at the sponsoring university.

State code limits the number of concurrent enrollment credits earned during one school year to 30. Overloading your schedule with demanding CE classes is not advised.

In the state of Utah, there is a $5 per credit hour tuition charge for CE classes (a 3-credit CE class would cost $15). The tuition charge is in addition to the one-time application fee to the sponsoring institution.

Students may be required to purchase a textbook or other related materials.

All CE grades are posted to an official college transcript and a college GPA is established. This transcript becomes part of a student’s permanent college record. College grades are also posted on the high school transcript and will affect the high school GPA.

Yes, some students can earn an associate degree by earning AP, CE and Early College credit. Your high school counselor will work closely with you to chart a sequence of courses. This planning should begin as early as 9th grade.

You must first be admitted to the college/university offering the concurrent class. We recommend that admission be completed prior to actually beginning the class. This involves paying a one-time admission fee. Once you are admitted, you are eligible to register for the class. A tuition charge of $5 per credit hour will be charged at the time the student registers. This process of admission and registration MUST be completed prior to the college/university CE deadline (usually during the first two weeks of class)—NO exceptions.

Students can transfer Concurrent Enrollment (CE) credit to all in-state public, some private schools and some out-of-state institutions on a case-by-case basis. The process of transferring credit from one college to another requires students to submit a request to the school where the credit was awarded. (Example: If you have CE credit from Weber State and would like it transferred to UVU, submit a request to Weber State to send the transcripts to UVU.) Check with your institution of choice to see how your CE credit will align with their degree programs. Visit www.transferutah.org for details. To transfer concurrent credit to another university, you must initiate that process by contacting the registrar’s office of the university where you earned the credit and request a transcript.
