Concurrent Enrollment for High School Students

Northeastern's Concurrent Enrollment Program allows high school students to enroll in college courses concurrently. High school students earn both high school and college credits. Concurrent credits earned through Northeastern are recorded on a Northeastern transcript.

Students must be approved by their high school for enrollment in concurrent enrollment courses. Guidelines for student eligibility include:

1. Demonstration of readiness to take college courses employing acceptable assessment scores.
2. Demonstrate the skills or knowledge necessary to succeed in the concurrent enrollment course through previous high school work.
3. Completion of all high school and college prerequisites.
4. Must be associated with a Colorado High School and have a SASID number assigned.

Please check with your local school district regarding their policies concerning concurrent enrollment.

Northeastern's Concurrent Enrollment program:

• Lowers the initial higher education cost by providing each student college credit at low or zero cost.
• Prepares students for a smooth transfer to college by providing the experience of being a college student.

All courses administered through Northeastern's concurrent enrollment program conform to college academic standards of rigor and Colorado Community College System (CCCS) curriculum outcomes.

Concurrent enrollment courses can be applied towards a degree or certificate at Northeastern or can be transferred to another college or university.

For more information about Northeastern's concurrent enrollment program, contact the Student Success Center at (970) 521-6663 or the Office of Concurrent Enrollment at (970) 521-6675.

Concurrently enrolled students and their high school counselor will need to work with Northeastern to develop a post-secondary educational plan.

1. Students who have earned 12 college credit hours are encouraged to meet with a Northeastern advisor to help ensure classes fit their degree plan.
2. For our CE students to fully experience high school opportunities and college experiences, Northeastern strongly encourages high school concurrent enrollment students to take no more than 17 college credit hours per semester.
