A high school student admitted as a concurrent student may enroll in a combined number of high school and college courses per semester not to exceed a full-time college work load of 19 semester credit hours. A student may enroll in a maximum of 9 semester credit hours during a summer semester. For purposes of calculating work load, one high school credit course is equivalent to three semester credit hours of college work.A high school student must meet the following requirements:Accredited High School

- Juniors must be 16 years of age and must achieve a minimum composite score of 19 on the National ACT/ Pre-ACT
To help ensure that a student possesses the skills necessary to be successful in college, a student must obtain a 19 on the National ACT/ Pre-ACT subject score(s) in English, math and/or science to enroll in course work in the respective subject area(s). The student must score 19 or higher in reading to enroll in any other collegiate course(s) outside the subjects of English, math and science. If the student qualifies for admissions based on their overall National ACT/ Pre-ACT score or GPA but does not have a National ACT/ Pre-ACT score of 19 in the subject area they wish to enroll in, they will be allowed to take one placement test per subject per semester. If they receive a qualifying score on the placement test, they will be allowed to enroll in the subject area tested.
Once a student is concurrently enrolled the student may continue enrollment, provided that during the concurrent enrollment period the student achieves a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.
To enroll, the student must submit an updated high school transcript & high school schedule each semester.
