Getting Started
Concurrent enrollment courses are a great way to start Moving Mountains toward your future. Just follow these steps to get started.
Steps to Getting Started with ACC Concurrent Enrollment
Step 1: Connect with your High School Counselor
Connect with your high school counselor to discuss participating in the concurrent enrollment program and to review the program requirements.
*If you're a home school student, connect with our CE staff to discuss your readiness and eligibility.
Step 2: Apply for Admission to ACC
Apply to ACC (if you have not done so previously) so you can get college credit for your concurrent enrollment courses.
After you apply, you will receive your ACC student ID number (S#) in 2-3 business days via email.
You’ll need a few things when you apply, so have them handy:
- Your Social Security Number
- *If you do not have a Social Security Number, you can still participate in the concurrent enrollment program by selecting the appropriate citizenship status when completing the ACC admission application. CCCS ensures student application data remains confidential and will only be disclosed under specific circumstances: when authorized by the individual; in response to a lawful order; through an established data-sharing agreement; to accrediting organizations in order to carry out their accrediting functions; or as required by Federal or State of Colorado Law.
- A personal email address (not your parent’s/guardian’s or your high school email)
- Residency information from a parent/guardian
Make sure you check "YES" to allow ACC to authorize your College Opportunity Fund (COF) when completing the admission application or go to the College Opportunity Fund website to sign up.
Step 3: Meet Course Prerequisite Requirements
Some college courses have prerequisites you need to meet before you can take them. Depending on the course, you may need to take an academic assessment or provide an academic transcript. There are 2 ways to meet course prerequisites:
