How does it work?

Concurrent Enrollment is an opportunity to receive required credits for high school graduation while also earning college credit. These Concurrent Enrollment courses cost significantly less money when compared with standard university tuition rates.

Under the Weber State University Concurrent Enrollment model, students take college classes in high school from high school instructors who are certified by WSU to be qualified adjunct faculty. Students are required to be admitted to Weber State University and register for courses through their high school and the university. Concurrent Enrollment students can earn up to 30 credits in one academic year.

How much does it cost?

Students are required to pay a tuition of $5 per credit* at the time of registration. Books and supplies may or may not be covered by the school district.

*Some courses require additional course fees for class materials

Benefits of Participating in Concurrent Enrollment (CE)

Save Money

The cost for Concurrent Enrollment courses is significantly less than the cost of tuition and fees for the same or a similar course taken directly through a university.

Earn Scholarships

In addition to saving money through the reduced cost of Concurrent Enrollment, there are scholarships available for CE students when you transition to being a full-time college student after high school graduation. Visit our Post-CE Scholarship page for more information.

Earn a Certificate or Degree

Students who take CE courses through Weber State University can potentially earn a certificate or degree by the time they graduate high school. This requires careful planning and can depend on what CE courses are available at your high school. Be sure to meet with a CE advisor to discuss if this is right for you. 

Prepare for College

CE courses and instructors must meet a strict set of requirements to ensure that students are receiving a college-level education. By participating in Concurrent Enrollment, students get a preview of what it is like to take a college course.
