SLCC Concurrent Enrollment

Summit Academy High School partners with Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) to build a comprehensive college experience for motivated and academically prepared high school students.  The CE experience prepares high school students with the skills they need to seamlessly transition to college after high school and successfully navigate the challenges of higher education. 

Concurrent Enrollment (CE) is an academic program involving high school and college collaboration that allows qualified students to earn college credit by taking college courses taught at their high school, online, and on SLCC campuses. Currently we offer two CE classes at Summit Academy, Chemistry 1010 and Medical Terminology 1100 with the goal of increasing the amount of classes taught at our high school. The rest of the courses are taught online and on SLCC campuses. Currently, SLCC has eight campuses located throughout the Salt Lake Valley.

The Concurrent On-Campus program offers high schools students, the opportunity to take a limited selection of concurrent enrollment courses on any physical SLCC campus at the cost of $5/credit hour.  Concurrent On-Campus classes are mixed classes with both high school concurrent students and regular adult college students. Students receive both college and high school credit for the courses offered through Concurrent On-Campus. Grades earned from concurrent enrollment will be placed on your high school transcript.  The Concurrent Enrollment Coordinator and High School Counselors DO NOT have access to SLCC grades to track progress.  It is up to the student to monitor her/his grades.  At the end of each semester the CE office at SLCC sends the high school a grade report. The high school then records that grade on the student’s high school transcript. If the class is a year long class, the grade will be sent at the end of the class.

**PLEASE VISIT THE SLCC CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT WEBSITE TO PROVIDE GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROGRAM.**

Credits earned through Concurrent Enrollment (CE) are transferable to other colleges and universities.  You are advised to check with individual institutions for their credit transfer guidelines.  ​The Utah Transfer Guide provided by the Utah Systems of High Education may be a helpful resource. 

If you are interested in taking a CE class at SAHS, two things have to be done: 1) You will enroll with your counselor within the first 2 weeks of class and 2) you will register with SLCC. If you have taken CE classes before, you will register for the class through your MySLCC account. If you have never taken a CE class, you will have to apply to be admitted to SLCC, set up a MySLCC Account and register for the class. For any questions regarding this process come speak with Mrs.Saunders, our CE Coordinator in room 226 or email her at karina.saunders@summitacademyschools.org

Students are provided with a classroom at SAHS which includes a quiet area to study or to participate in their SLCC online classes. 

College tuition is paid every semester after registration is complete and before SLCC's tuition deadline. Tuition is $5.00 per credit hour ($15 for a 3 credit hour class, $20 for a 4 credit hour class, etc.) can be paid at the time you register or anytime before SLCC's deadline. You can pay your tuition online, by phone (801-957-4868), or in person (at a SLCC Cashier's window) using a credit card or a checking or savings account. Cash payments must be made in person at the SLCC Cashier's window.

You will receive an email through your Bruinmail account shortly after the tuition deadline reminding you to pay any outstanding balances. If you fail to pay your tuition, will not be able to register for classes in the future, or request a transcript, until the balance has been paid. Once tuition has been paid it could take 24-48 hours before you can request your transcript or register for classes. Click here for a tutorial on how to pay online!

Students who take CE classes have an opportunity to earn the General Education Certificate of Completion. This certificate is official proof that a student has completed the general education requirements of an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree. It is transferrable to colleges and universities as fulfillment of general education credit. Depending on your institution, you may be required to take institution specific classes after transferring. SLCC’s General Education (GE) program provides the subject-area knowledge and learning skills foundation for 2- and 4-year degrees.

Core and Institutional courses make up the general education foundation. Distribution Areas courses give an opportunity to explore various subjects. General education courses are highly advisable for concurrent enrollment students; they are required for college graduation and transferable from one Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) institution to another.

Students completing all GE requirements would take 5 concurrent enrollment classes (CE) junior year, 1 credit Early Enrollment Lifelong Wellness class during the summer, and 6 CE classes senior year – earn a SLCC General Education Certificate of Completion that is transferable to all USHE institutions (you will have to complete unique institution graduation requirements only). 

If this is something you would like to pursue, you are strongly encouraged to meet with a SLCC Academic Advisor and our CE Coordinator (Mrs. Saunders, room 226, karina.saunders@summitacademyschools.org)
