Want to earn college credit while still in high school?
ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ offers two options for high school students to do that: Concurrent Enrollment and Dual Enrollment. To be eligible, you must be a junior or senior and prepared for the demands of college-level work.
What is Concurrent Enrollment?
Concurrent enrollment allows you to take courses on campus at ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ or online with ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ faculty. You would be a part-time student at ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ and remain a full-time student in your high school. Homeschooled students may pursue this option as well.
What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual Enrollment classes are ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ courses taught at your high school during the regular school day. Classes are taught by high school teachers who are also ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ adjunct faculty. Textbooks, syllabi, and workload are comparable to college freshman-level courses.
Dual Enrollment classes can save you a significant amount of money; students pay only a portion of the ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ tuition rate. Dual Enrollment courses vary by high school; check with your high school Dual Enrollment coordinator.
