WHAT IS CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT?

Concurrent enrollment classes are college level classes offered to high school students for both high school and college credit.  Concurrent enrollment students are enrolled for classes at both the high school and the College. Students register through their high school instructor. Instructors are responsible for registering their students each term. While students earn high school credit, they also earn college credit, therefore reducing duplicated classes.  SLCC college credits are recorded on a permanent college record and transcript. High schools are responsible for recording high school credits. Both vocational and general education classes may be offered. Instructors are qualified high school faculty who meet the hiring SLCC requirements for adjunct faculty. Courses taught at the high school are the same courses taught on the SLCC site. Instructor qualifications, syllabi, assignments, textbooks, exams and grading requirements are equivalent. Full-time Concurrent Enrollment liaisons and SLCC faculty monitor high school concurrent enrollment courses.

Concurrent enrollment students are high school seniors and some qualified juniors. The high schools have the primary responsibility for identifying students who are eligible to participate in concurrent enrollment courses. The SLCC Concurrent Enrollment Office will check for senior and junior eligibility status. Eligibility requirements shall be selective enough to predict a successful experience.
