CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT

What does concurrent enrollment mean?

Concurrent enrollment provides high school students the opportunity to take college-credit bearing courses taught by
college-approved high school teachers. It is a low-cost, scalable model for bringing accelerated courses to students in
urban, suburban, and rural high schools. Students gain exposure to the academic challenges of college while in their
supportive high school environment, earning transcripted college credit at the time they successfully pass the course.

Different from credit by exam options (i.e., AP courses)

1. Concurrent enrollment courses are actual credit-bearing college courses.
2. C oncurrent enrollment students earn a college grade based on multiple and varied assessments throughout the

course, not just from one high-stakes AP exam at the end of the course.
3. Concurrently enrolled students earn transcripted college credit at the time they successfully pass the course

(Excerpted from The National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships).

Admission and college transcript process - Cardinal Stritch University

Qualified Catholic Memorial students who choose to enroll in one of these courses for college credit are admitted to the
university as “non-degree seeking students.” Upon successful completion (minimum grade of ‘C’), these students will
receive three or four college credits and an official transcript. The official university transcript verifies to other colleges/
universities that the student has earned college/university credits. Students will need to submit this transcript for
credit consideration.
