What Is Concurrent Enrollment?<\/h2>\n\n

\n Concurrent Enrollment (CE) allows high school students to earn\n high school and college credit at the same time<\/strong>.\n Students take college-level courses while still in high school,\n giving them a head start on their college education.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n CE is a great way to explore college-level coursework, complete\n general education requirements, and save money on future college\n expenses. Students who successfully complete CE courses earn\n college credit that becomes part of their official college transcript.\n <\/p>\n\n \n

\n\n

College Credit at a Fraction of the Cost!<\/h3>\n\n

\n One of the biggest advantages of Concurrent Enrollment is the cost.\n CE courses typically cost just $5 per college credit<\/strong>,\n compared to hundreds of dollars per credit when taking courses\n at a college or university after graduation.\n <\/p>\n\n

Concurrent Enrollment vs. Advanced Placement (AP)<\/h2>\n\n

\n Both Concurrent Enrollment (CE) and Advanced Placement (AP)\n provide opportunities for high school students to challenge\n themselves academically and potentially earn college credit.\n However, there are some important differences.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n\n \n
\n\n

Concurrent Enrollment (CE)<\/h3>\n\n

\n How college credit is earned:<\/strong>
\n Students enroll in an actual college course and earn college\n credit by successfully completing the course.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n College credit:<\/strong>
\n Credit is recorded on an official college transcript.\n No separate AP-style exam is required to earn credit.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Cost:<\/strong>
\n Typically $5 per college credit, with possible additional\n course or material fees.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Important to know:<\/strong>
\n CE grades become part of a student’s permanent college\n academic record and may affect their college GPA.\n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\n\n

Advanced Placement (AP)<\/h3>\n\n

\n How college credit is earned:<\/strong>
\n Students take a college-level high school course and\n may earn college credit based on their AP exam score.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n College credit:<\/strong>
\n Colleges determine whether to award credit based on the\n student’s AP exam score and the institution’s policies.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Cost:<\/strong>
\n Students generally pay an AP exam fee rather than\n tuition for college credits.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Important to know:<\/strong>
\n Taking an AP class does not automatically award college\n credit. Credit depends on the exam score and the\n receiving college’s requirements.\n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n

\n Which is better?<\/strong> Both options can be valuable!\n The best choice depends on a student’s academic goals, future\n college plans, and preferred learning experience. Students\n are encouraged to work with their school counselor when\n deciding which courses to take.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n\n \n

SLCC General Education Certificate of Completion<\/h2>\n\n

\n Students who plan ahead may be able to complete a significant\n portion of their college general education requirements\n before graduating from high school.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n The SLCC General Education Certificate of Completion<\/strong>\n packages general education courses into a single certificate\n that transfers to all public colleges and universities in\n the state of Utah.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Students can use qualifying SLCC Concurrent Enrollment courses\n and AP credit to work toward the certificate. Skyline High\n School and the Granite Technical Institute (GTI) offer\n courses that can fulfill these requirements.\n <\/p>\n\n \n

\n\n

Important Certificate Requirement<\/h3>\n\n

\n At least 3 of the 9 required classes must be\n Concurrent Enrollment (CE) courses.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Students cannot earn the SLCC General Education Certificate\n of Completion using AP classes alone.\n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n
