Looking to see what Concurrent Enrollment opportunities are available at your student’s high school? Use our Postsecondary Opportunities searchable database to find what college credit opportunities are offered at each high school.
Jeffco students in grades 9-12 can enroll in their home high school, as well as a community college within the home school service area. Concurrent enrollment allows students to enroll and earn college credits while still in high school. Concurrent enrollment benefits students by lowering the cost of college, increasing the flexibility of academic options, increasing the ease of access to college coursework, and preparing students for a seamless transfer into college.
Qualified students have two options to access concurrent enrollment classes:
-
"High School Select”: Students may enroll in college-level classes offered on our high school campuses, taught by Jeffco Schools teachers, during the regular school day. These courses are tuition-free to students. Find classes offered at your school in the above link and talk to your high school counselor.
- “Campus Select”: Students may enroll in college-level classes offered on an approved college campus with prior district approval. Jeffco will pay tuition for these courses, and the student is responsible for textbooks, materials, and fees. The college has the right to deny student enrollment based on space availability and college admission requirements.
-
Students in grades 9-12, must meet the necessary course requirements and following three conditions must be met:
1. The course exceeds what is offered on the high school campus
AND
2. The course is not offered through Jeffco Virtual Academy
AND
3. The course is a graduation requirement (non-elective) on the student’s graduation plan (ICAP)
To participate in Campus Select, students must complete the following:
-
Meet with their home high school counselor and complete the Campus Select Student Application. The student’s ICAP must be updated to include the Concurrent Enrollment coursework.
