Concurrent Enrollment for High School Students

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Trinidad State’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 Trinidad State are recorded on the student Trinidad State 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.

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

Trinidad State'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 Trinidad State'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 Trinidad State College or can be transferred to another college or university.
