Frequently Asked Questions

CE classes are state-subsidized, so students only pay $5 per credit. That’s a 99% savings over taking classes after high school. However, students are responsible for inclusive access book fees, text books, and materials, etc.
- 3.0 or above High School GPA
- Parent/Guardian permission
- High School recommendation
Contact your CE Coordinator or a counselor at your school for assistance. Your school may be able to cover the cost of college classes and pay SUU on your behalf.

Fill out the state USHE State CE Application and select SUU as the school to partner with.

If you’ve already filled out the State CE Application for another college or university, resubmit the application with SUU added.

You’ll receive a welcome email with instructions on how to activate your portal and register for classes. If it’s been a week since you applied and you haven’t heard back, contact concurrentenrollment@suu.edu

The state of Utah funds up to 30 credits of concurrent enrollment per year, so that is the maximum number of credits allowed. This is equivalent to a full year of college course work. We do not recommend exceeding the limit. If needed, additional credits may be taken through our Early College Online (ECO) program for $75/credit.

Under the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), college records are considered confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone other than the student, regardless of age. If a student would like another person, such as a parent or guardian, to have access to their SUU record, they will need to complete a release form through the Registrar's Office.

Since the CE program is state funded, students must be enrolled at a Utah public high school to participate in concurrent enrollment. Students who receive the Utah Fits All scholarship may not participate in concurrent enrollment. Homeschool students, as well as private school, out-of-state, or international students may access our online classes through Early College Online at the reduced rate of $75 per credit.
Your Concurrent Enrollment grades will be recorded on your permanent SUU transcript, so it’s important to take these courses seriously. As a Concurrent Enrollment student, you’re held to the same academic standards and policies as all SUU students. Because you earn both high school and college credit, your grades will also appear on your official high school transcript.
If you withdraw from a college course before the drop deadline, you’ll get your tuition back and the class won’t show up on your transcript.
If you drop a class after the official drop deadline, it will be processed as a withdrawal. Consequently, a “W” will appear on your transcript, and you will remain responsible for the course’s tuition.
You can’t repeat the course through the Concurrent Enrollment program, as state rules prohibit students from retaking Concurrent Enrollment classes. However, if you want to retake a course, you can enroll through the Early College Online (ECO) program, which costs $75 per credit instead of the $5 per credit for Concurrent Enrollment.

Transferring Credits

Credits earned through the concurrent enrollment program are transferable from one USHE institution to another. However, the way in which credits transfer - as equivalent or elective credit - may vary from one college or university to another. Therefore, transferability should be considered when selecting courses. Students should be encouraged to seek advice on transferability of credit from a college academic adviser at the institution they plan to attend after high school graduation.

Utah Transfer Guide

Withdrawing from a CE Course

Students must officially drop a course by the specified deadline. Withdrawing from a high school course doesn't automatically drop the corresponding college course. Prior to making this decision, students should discuss with their high school CE representative and the SUU CE Office.  The Drop Deadline is the last day to withdraw without a “W” on your transcript.

If a student drops a course after the set deadline, they will receive a "W" grade. This grade stays on your transcripts but does not affect your GPA. Students should consult with their parents and counselor before dropping a course after the deadline to avoid a "W" grade.

An Unofficial Withdrawal (UW) occurs when a student stops attending a course and ceases coursework without formally dropping the course. A “UW” affects the student's GPA equal to an F grade. Prior to such a decision, students should meet with the CE Academic Advisor and their high school counselor. If a student withdraws from a course without proper communication with the teacher, high school counselor, and the CE office at SUU, they'll bear all consequences.

If a student has a “UW” on their transcript due to unforeseen medical issues or other exceptional circumstances they feel should be considered, please fill out this form:

This form should then be submitted by the student's counselor or advisor to concurrentenrollment@suu.edu.

FERPA Laws

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. Under FERPA, parents have specific rights regarding their children's educational records, these rights transfer to the student upon reaching the age of 18 or attending a school beyond the high school level.

Disability Services

Students with short or long term disabilities (including services under Individual Education Plan (IEP), 504, Title IX, etc., may be eligible for accommodations through our Disability Resource Center. Please reach out to SUU Disability Services for more information.

Academic Standing

  • If a student falls below 2.0 it can affect their applications to universities as a regular student, or the status of the incoming student (for example, a student may be put on probation, not accepted, or have a scholarship revoked).
    SUU Academic Appeal
  • CE students are not permitted to repeat a university course while in high school under the Concurrent Enrollment Program. CE students cannot receive an incomplete.
  • SUU policies pertaining to academic misconduct and plagiarism apply to CE students - if a student is caught plagiarizing it is grounds for failing the course and/or being excused from the Concurrent Enrollment program.
