High School Concurrent Enrollment Program
The State of Colorado provides several options for high school students who meet high school standards to begin college early. The purpose of these options is to promote content standards and provide academic challenges and access to courses that may not be available at a local high school to meet high school graduation requirements.
A student under twenty -one years of age who is enrolled in the 9th - 12th grade in a school district and who has demonstrated academic preparedness is eligible for the High School Concurrent Enrollment Program ("Program").
The following information and requirements apply to the Program students:
- A student must meet the same prerequisites and course expectations as noted in the UNC catalog and the course syllabus.
- Admission into the Program is not admission into a degree-seeking program at UNC. However, the grade the student receives will be on their permanent UNC academic transcript. Please visit www.unco.edu/registrar/etranscripts.aspx for ordering information. The credits earned in the course may transfer from UNC to another college or university, if allowed by that institution. The student should check with the institution that will be attended regarding transfer of credits.
- A student with a GPA below 2.0 in a Program course(s) completed will be placed initially on academic probation if the student is subsequently admitted to UNC in a degree-seeking program. A student who earns a grade of "C-" in a Program course(s) has the option thereafter to register for additional course(s) to provide the student the opportunity to maintain a UNC GPA at or above 2.0.
- A student who earns a grade lower than a " C-" in a Program course will no longer be eligible to participate in additional Program courses. A student (or the student's parent/guardian if the student is under 18 years of age) is responsible for payment to UNC of tuition and fees for Program courses not paid by the student's high school.
- A student is not eligible for privileges provided to UNC degree-seeking students. Thus, a student is not entitled to participate in other college activities including but not limited to student organizations or intercollegiate or club sports and is not eligible for financial aid including but not limited to federal - or state -funded aid, or institutional scholarships.
- If a student withdraws from the course at UNC after the drop date the student will receive a grade of "W". Otherwise, the student will receive a grade for the course work completed during the semester. The student (or the student's parent/guardian) will be responsible for payment to UNC of tuition and fees for any Program course from which the student did not drop or withdraw by the UNC-posted deadline. The deadlines may be found at www.unco.edu/registrar/calendars.
