STEP 1 - Contact Your High School Guidance Counselor
First of all, please contact your high school counselor before making any college registration decisions.  Eligibility is determined at the high school level and the college does not assume this responsibility for your student.  High school counselors play a very important role in concurrent enrollment as they will adjust your high school schedules to accommodate college classes.

 

To be eligible for concurrent enrollment, the student must:
-       Be a junior or senior.
-       Have a high school GPA of 3.0.
-       Be completing course requirements at an approved school district through a public high school.
-       Be taking at least one class at the high school to be eligible for concurrent enrollment.
-       Register for one or two college classes; however, some students can register for more classes.  Please check your high school schedule or contact your guidance counselor before applying for admission/registration.
-       Take a minimum of 3 credits. Remember that college classes are more difficult than high school classes; therefore, do not register for an overwhelming number of classes/credits. Students should plan to spend two hours work outside of class for each college credit (example:  3 credit course = 9 hours total per week; 3 in class and 6 out of class).  Students taking 12-20 credits are considered to be full-time at Dixie State College, which does not include classes taken at the high school. Please keep this in mind when registering for classes.
-       Only complete a maximum of 30 concurrent enrollment credit hours in one school year (15 credit hours per semester - fall & spring) in order to receive concurrent enrollment funding. Please keep this in mind when registering for classes. Concurrent enrollment funding does not include the summer term.
-       Have their State Student ID Number and Student School District ID Number--all of which can be obtained from your high school counselor. A Social Security Number is no longer required.
