PURPOSE

The purpose of concurrent enrollment is to provide a challenging college-level experience for students in their last two years of high school (Grades 11 and 12). Under the direction of the Utah State Office of Education and in partnership with participating colleges and universities, Concurrent Enrollment courses have been implemented in high schools throughout the state of Utah. Concurrent Enrollment courses should assist students toward post-secondary degrees.

STUDENT ELIGIBILITY

Utah Code 53A-1a-106(2)(b)

Schools and the Utah School of High Education (USHE) jointly establish student eligibility requirements which are sufficiently selective to predict a successful experience.

To ensure that a student is prepared for college level work, an appropriate assessment shall be administered to the student prior to participation in all concurrent mathematics and English courses and to determine that the student meets perquisites previously established for the same campus-based course by the sponsoring USHE institution.

Students must have a current student education/occupation plan (SEOP) on file

COURSE OFFERINGS

Concurrent Enrollment offerings shall be limited to courses in English, mathematics, fine arts, humanities, science, social science, world languages, and career and technical programs to allow a focus of energy and resources on quality instruction in these courses. However, there may be a great variety of courses in the Career and Technical Education (CTE) area.
