Concurrent Enrollment

Important CE Information
- Concurrent Enrollment classes are college classes. The grade a student receives in concurrent enrollment will become part of their official college transcript.
- A student will receive a grade only at the end of the semester and it will be worth 1 full high school credit. For example, if a student receives a B in their concurrent enrollment class, it is equivalent to receiving 4 B's in a high school class for GPA computation.
- Concurrent enrollment is open to juniors and seniors with a GPA of 2.5 for CTE classes and 3.0 for general education classes. Math 1050,1060 requires a 23 on the math section of the ACT. Math 1030 & Stat 1040 require a C average in Math 1,2,3.
- Many concurrent enrollment classes at THS are broadcasts originating at another location. Students are responsible for using the equipment and participating even when their instructor is off-site.
- If a student receives a D or F in concurrent enrollment, they are no longer eligible to take future CE classes. In addition, students must pass (with a C) 66% of their college classes to be eligible for federal financial aid (FAFSA) - this includes Pell Grants and Federal Student Loans.
- Because concurrent enrollment results in college credit, an adjunct faculty member (an THS teacher who is teaching a college level course) is under the authority of the college they teach for. The high school classroom becomes a college classroom for that class. Students who are on an IEP or 504 plan must make arrangements through the college disability center for any accommodations needed.
- Withdrawal from a CE class after the registration deadline will result in a 'W' on a student's college transcript. Students who drop college classes must meet with their counselor and Mrs. Jensen room 209.
- Class availability is subject to change based on college staffing.

AP or Concurrent Enrollment view chart
Advance Placement Concurrent Enrollment
Cost: $93 per AP Test $50 or less one time admissions fee plus $15-$20 tuition fee/class
Pass Rate: 60% earn a score of 3 or higher 95% earn a grade of D- or higher,
80% earn a grade of C or higher
Transferability:
While most institutions accept AP score 3 or higher, it is up to the discretion of the institution how that is recorded.
CE credit is recognized as regular college credit and is Tran scripted the same way as credit for courses taken on a college campus. If a student transfers this credit to another college or university in Utah, it counts as if the student took the course there.
Teacher Qualifications:
AP instructors must meet requirements that have been established by the College Board.
CE instructor must possess the academic and industry credentials required by the academic department for adjunct faculty.
Risk:
AP carries a slightly lower risk. If a student fails it is not recorded on a permanent college transcript.
Grades earned in a CE class become part of a student’s permeant academic record.
Overall Experience:
The primary focus of AP is helping students get a head start on college by earning college credit, and to give students a rigorous classroom experience that prepares them for college.
The primary focus of CE is also helping students get a head start on college by earning college credit. Also allows students to learn college admissions and registration processes. And begin a college academic planning process.
Associate Degree Information

Interested students must meet with Mrs. Jensen Room 209 in the spring of their SOPHOMORE year.
