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 and instructors are responsible for registering their students each term. While students earn high school credit, they also earn college credit, therefore reducing duplicated classes. Salt Lake Community 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 liasons and SLCC faculty monitor high school concurrent enrollment courses.
Junior and senior students are permitted to enroll in Concurrent Enrollment classes. The State Board of Regents recommend students have a GPA of at least 3.0 for a successful experience. English and history are open only to high school seniors.
Sophomores may be admitted with a special exception letter submitted by the instructor to the Concurrent Enrollment directory at the beginning of the semester. Sophomore approval is more common in vocational classes. Gifted sophomore students seeking approval for math courses should submit to the Concurrent Enrollment director an official CPT or ACT passing score and a letter of recommendation from the math instructor or previous math instructor.
Every student who wishes to take Concurrent Enrollment classes must first apply to SLCC with an admissions application and a non-refundable $35 admissions fee. This process is usually completed at the high school. A student may also fill out an application and pay at the Courtesy Desk at the 4600 South Redwood Road Student Center. Tuition and fees are not charged to public education students; however, a tuition per credit hour fee is charged for private high school students.
High school teachers and/or coordinators will verify that the student has not been previously admitted. If a student dropped from a class or did not register for any classes after being admitted, the application is good for at least one year before another admission application is required. The cost of admission covers the cost of one math and English placement test.
