WHY TAKE A CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT (CE) CLASS? 

1. Time 

•  Could graduate from college sooner and get an earlier start on your career. Earn 36-40 credits towards the 60 credit associates degree. 

2. Money 

• Less university tuition is paid and debt is accrued saving thousands of dollars.  

3. Jumpstart on College and Career Preparation 

• Get a feel for what will be expected in college or in a technical school.  

4. College Access 

• Receive the same college student benefits as a full-time college student on campus.  

5. College Credit 

• Begin your college transcript in high school where the grades earned in concurrent enrollment classes, including failing grades and withdrawals, appear on your permanent college transcript.  

• Begin working on or receive your General Ed Certificate of Completion showing universities that the General Ed requirements have been completed.  

6. Scholarships   

• Incoming WSU freshman who have completed at least 12 Concurrent Enrollment credits from any Utah Higher Institution with a 3.0 cumulative GPA average will receive a four-year or 8 semester tuition waiver ($2000 per year) to WSU. 

 

CE CAUTIONS: 

• Most Utah public universities and some Utah private and out of state institutions accept high school CE credit.  

• No more than 20 CE credits can be taken per semester and no more than 30 CE credits per school year. A petition to take additional credits can be sent to WSU to take more credits in a semester as long as the student does not exceed the 30 credits in a year.  

• Taking too many courses outside of a college program may limit Financial Aid eligibility (FAFSA).   

• Failing or withdrawing from too many courses can impact the student’s Financial Aid eligibility (FAFSA).  

• If the CE class credit is not going towards a General Ed requirement or towards a major program area, it could be wasted credit and money and limit the student’s ability to be full time which may affect financial aid eligibility.   

• Many majors tell you the exact General Ed and Elective courses that they want you to take because they fit within their program. If you take a class for your humanities credit that is not on your prospective majors list, you may have to take an extra humanities credit or an extra elective to meet their program requirements.   

• Check university Major Requirements and Graduation Maps to see what courses are required. 

Do not be misadvised.  Meet with a WSU college academic advisor and check with your desired college institution for updated official information on what credits will transfer.

Once applied for and awarded, it will appear on students’ transcripts and is considered part of their official record. The Certificate allows students to “lock in” their Gen Ed credits and is transferable between institutions in the Utah System of Higher Education. General Education accounts for approximately 36 - 39 credit hours and an Associates degree requires a minimum of 60 credit hours. Do not be misadvised.  Meet with a WSU college academic advisor and check with your desired college institution for what credits will transfer.
