Concurrent Enrollment

Get a jumpstart on college by earning high school and college credit at the same time through ACC’s Concurrent Enrollment program.

What is Concurrent Enrollment?

Concurrent Enrollment allows public high school students in grades 9-12 to take college classes for high school and college credit with tuition paid by the school district or charter school and the College Opportunity Fund. Learn more about concurrent enrollment from the Colorado Department of Education.

Transition seamlessly to ACC or another college after graduation

Where to Take Concurrent Enrollment Classes

Courses may be offered at your high school, on an ACC campus, or online. Courses are all taught by college-level instructors, so you'll gain college experience to prepare you for your future.

CE High School Select

About 90% of ACC’s concurrent enrollment courses are offered right in your school! We call this high school select.

CECollege Select

Some school districts encourage their students to also consider taking a course on one of ACC’s campuses, either Castle Rock or Littleton or online, which we refer to as college select. The high school will pay your tuition and often you are asked to pay the student fees. But this will get you even further along your journey!

Home School Students & Self-Pay Options

If your school district can't cover your college class tuition or if you are a homeschooled student, you may pay for college classes at Arapahoe Community College and get started on your college education. Meet with your high school counselor and / or concurrent [dot] enrollment [at] arapahoe [dot] edu (email ACC Concurrent Enrollment) about the classes you would like to take at an ACC Campus.

Concurrent enrollment helped me prepare for college and get ahead because I was able to get an experience of how college classes will be in an actual college.
~ Yamile, John F. Kennedy High School

Not only have I learned what college classes are like, but CE has helped me plan out my future. I am able to learn about what it takes to take certain classes and push myself like I never have before.
~ Liberty, Colorado Preparatory Academy

While in concurrent enrollment, I was able to get my associate certification in Solid Works for engineering. This helps me get ahead on my career path and to show me I can be successful.
