Concurrent Enrollment
Concurrent Enrollment courses provide an option for students to earn both high school and college credit at the same time while staying on the high school campus and taking the courses from the high school teachers.
Many students begin CE without fully understanding the implications of their choices. This CE video WSU Concurrent Enrollment: Your Guide to Success will provide a better understanding of the program and how it will affect their future goals.
CE information worth looking at
CE Advising and support
When it comes to college credit, do not be misadvised. Layton High School now has a Weber State University CE Advisor who will be on LHS campus on Mondays. Her name is Rynae Bowden and she is excited to help your CE students and you with any questions you might have about Concurrent Enrollment at WSU.
She can help students learn about the benefits of taking CE courses in high school, be strategic in what Concurrent Enrollment classes to take and advise those interested in a WSU Certificate of Completion or Associate Degree. While here on campus, she can meet one-on-one with students or even do class presentations. If a student would like to make an appointment with her, see the attached flyer for a QR code or have them email ceadvising@weber.edu.
If you haven't already, we would encourage you to use the new videos on the Concurrent Enrollment Advising website. One is a guide to success with CE, the other goes over General Ed requirements. They might answer a lot of questions students might have. And the website has a lot of great information as well.

-
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.
EARNING THE CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION (COC) and COMPLETING YOUR COLLEGE GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
WHAT IS THE CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION (COC)?
WSU General Studies Overview for Concurrent Enrollment Students
The Certificate of Completion (COC) is awarded when students complete all core and breadth requirements with a minimum 2.0 GPA. 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 you want to become a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION (COC) CE STUDENT? Do not be misadvised. Meet with a WSU college academic advisor to help with your CE journey.
