What is Concurrent Enrollment?

help
A concurrent enrollment course is a course in which a high school student receives college credit and the instructor is a high school teacher.  A dual enrollment course is a course in which a high school student receives college credit for a course taught by a college instructor.

  • get a head start on college
  • earn college credits early (possibly earning your college degree in less than four years)
  • challenge yourself academically
  • get a taste of the academic and social aspects of college life

The High School Concurrent Program is intended for high school students interested in the challenge of completing college courses at Arkansas State University-Newport. High School Concurrent students earn college credit that may also be applied to high school graduation requirements.

 

A very important document for you to view is the Student Handbook portion of the 2014-2015 ASU-Newport Catalog and Student Handbook.  This publication outlines rights and responsibilities of enrolled college/university students. This Student Handbook is located at the following website on page 239. https://portal.asun.edu/ICS/Portlets/ICS/Handoutportlet/viewhandler.ashx?handout_id=311e222f-82e3-4cab-86c7-afb60d317e76.
