Who can join the program?
Honestly, concurrent enrollment isn’t for
everyone. Because you’re receiving college
credit, you’ll probably need to spend extra
time and effort on these classes to be successful.
How much does Concurrent
Enrollment
cost?
Nothing! The state of Utah pays your fees
while you’re in high school. This saves you
and your parents over $500 per college class.
Some high schools may require you to pay for
textbooks or other class materials though, so
be sure to check on that.
Why do I get college credit for these classes?
WSU has approved concurrent enrollment
classes and instructors from your high school
to offer college credit to successful students.
The class content matches what is taught
at WSU, and your performance as a student must match what is expected of
other successful WSU students.
Your concurrent credit also can
be transferred to the other public
colleges in Utah. If you want to do
this, be sure to check with your
college about its policy for accepting
WSU concurrent enrollment
credit.
Do these classes go on my permanent record?
Yes. Concurrent enrollment classes
create a permanent college
grade report (transcript) that will
follow you after high school. Low
grades (C- or lower) may result in
suspension from the concurrent
enrollment program and could
hurt your eventual college acceptance, so be prepared to do
your best work.
Am I considered a WSU student?
No, but you will have WSU class work experience, complete
real college credit, and a transcript will be waiting for you
when you attend WSU after high school.
What are the rules?
As a concurrent enrollment student, you must follow the
WSU Code of Conduct. Violations may result in failing
grades and notifying the university of your conduct. Review
these codes so you know the expectations: Ask your teacher/counselor for a copy or visit
weber.edu/concurrent.
I’m interested, so now what?
Your teacher will distribute registration forms at a later
date. If you understand the expectations for participating
in this program and wish to be included, sign the agreement
on the back of your registration form and return it to
your teacher before the deadline.
