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. There is also a one-time Weber State University application fee of $30**. Students never have to pay that fee again. Books and supplies may or may not be covered by the school district.

*Some courses require additional course fees for class materials

**Use Waiver Code: FreeApp to waive the application fee!

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.
