If you possess a desire to seek challenging, rigorous educational opportunities for both high school and college credit, then you may be interested in registering for concurrent enrollment credit.
It is expected that students will have the necessary background and meet the academic requirements to demonstrate success in concurrent enrollment courses. It is required that concurrent enrollment students have at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA. Appropriate exceptions will be handled on a case by case basis.
Some institutions may require minimum ACT or Accuplacer scores in addition to the minimum 3.0 GPA before enrollment at the university or for specific courses.
Universities require 90% attendance or better in all concurrent enrollment courses.
Students will be responsible to purchase required books, outline, and/or supplies as required by the university.
Post-secondary institutions may charge a one-time application fee. Payment of this fee is the responsibility of the student.
If you choose to drop a course after the university deadline, a “W” will be given on your permanent college transcript.
The grade you earn in any concurrent enrollment course will become part of your permanent high school transcript as well as your college transcript.
College credit for concurrent enrollment is not guaranteed from year to year. It is determined by the university as to which courses and instructors qualify to offer the credit.
Our university partners take plagiarism and cheating very seriously. This will not be tolerated and may result in removal from the class with a withdrawal grade assigned.
Visit our Frequently Asked Questions page for additional information. That can be found here.
Students must be admitted to the University prior to registering for a concurrent class. The student must pay a minimum $5.00 per credit hour to the university for each concurrent class for which they are registered.
All concurrent enrollment course registrations will need to be completed through the university by the university’s designated due date.
Once you register for concurrent enrollment credit, you will have to abide by the university’s deadlines. If withdrawals are not completed by these dates, you will receive an “F” on your college transcript. Check with the CTE office for official withdrawal dates.
It is important to remember that concurrent enrollment should be in line with your PCCR, college and career goals. Please check with your counselor if you have any questions regarding concurrent enrollment courses and the status of the class
Please note the possibility that some CE classes offered at the time of printing the course guide may not end up being eligible for CE Credit at a later date. A class may be eligible for Concurrent Enrollment pending curriculum and instructor approval by post-secondary institutions and the course being included on the USOE Concurrent Enrollment Master List. This approval is granted on a year-to-year basis.

Please check with your CE course instructor to see if college credit can be awarded to sophomore students. Utah System of Higher Education Rule 165-5.2 states: “USHE institutions and local schools shall jointly establish student eligibility requirements. To predict a successful experience, these requirements may include, among others: 5.2.1. junior or senior standing, sophomores by exception.” In selected courses, the university that offers the course for CE credit will determine if a 10th grade student may register for the CE class.
Enrolling in a Concurrent Enrollment (CE) course constitutes attendance at college. As soon as students start attending a USHE institution, they are subject to the provisions for requesting accommodations established by the institution they are attending. The institution, upon request of the student, will evaluate the student’s request for accommodation in accordance with its disability resource center (DRC) processes. An IEP or Section 504 Plan may be used as supporting documentation for requesting an accommodation in a postsecondary setting. There is no guarantee that a student with an IEP or Section 504 plan will be eligible for an accommodation at a postsecondary institution. It is the student’s responsibility to pursue this option.
