Concurrent Enrollment at SUU

The following requirements must be met:

• Be enrolled as a full-time student at LAU.
• Be in grades 10-12, and have approval from our school counselor.
• Be on track for high school graduation according to our Graduation Plan in Student Information Services (SIS).
• Have a High School GPA of 3.0
• Maintain an SUU GPA of 2.0+

LAU does not pay for or reimburse any Concurrent Enrollment-related costs for SUU. However, our partnership with the SUU allows LAU students to receive a heavily discounted tuition rate, potentially saving them hundreds or even thousands of dollars on college.

Students are responsible for all SUU expenses, including:

• $5 per credit hour cost of tuition
• Application fee, if applicable
• Additional fees, supplies, and textbooks

• First-year Concurrent Enrollment students can take up to 2 classes or 6 credits to start.
• Students who have successfully completed Concurrent Enrollment courses previously can take up to 3 classes or 12 credits.
• Please coordinate with a school counselor to determine the best course load.

LAU students have the option to take online CE courses or in-person CE classes on the SUU campus. Students who do not live close to SUU should plan to take only online courses.

Students who wish to take SUU courses in person should identify which Concurrent Enrollment class they would like to take in person and contact SUU to make arrangements.

LAU adheres to state guidelines for converting college credits to high school credits. Please be sure to discuss your student’s academic plan with their LAU school counselor before registering for SUU Concurrent Enrollment courses to ensure their credits will transfer as expected.

Here are the general guidelines we use when converting college credits to high school credits:

1. Early College classes worth 3 to 5 college credits = 1.0 high school credit
2. Early College classes worth 0.5 to 2 college credits = 0.5 high school credits

Your student’s final grades for SUU Concurrent Enrollment courses are recorded on both their high school and college transcripts. If your student does not successfully complete a college course (or withdraws), their final grade of D, F, or W will also be recorded on both transcripts.

Note: To receive high school credit, your student must submit an SUU transcript to LAU after each semester of Concurrent Enrollment classes.

If your student is enrolling in the SUU Concurrent Enrollment program for the first time, they should meet with their LAU school counselor to discuss individual graduation plans and course recommendations.

For students who have previously taken SUU Concurrent Enrollment courses through LAU, this step is optional.

Fulfill all SUU prerequisites as outlined on SUU’s web page.

Read and follow all instructions on the SUU Concurrent Enrollment Admissions web page.

New Concurrent Enrollment applicants will be required to

• Fill out the SUU Concurrent Enrollment application.

SUU will receive notice of your application and request transcripts from LAU as part of the admission process. You will receive an email with a notice of your admission status. If admitted, your welcome email will contain instructions on accessing your mySUU portal and registering for classes.

Apply early. The application process can take 2-3 weeks.

Students are responsible for meeting SUU registration requirements and must keep track of registration deadlines.

For LAU to award high school credit for SUU courses, we require students to be registered for a placeholder course in SIS. The placeholder course is called "Early College Release" and can be found under each concurrent enrollment course type tab.

In SIS, please register for one Early College Release per SUU course your student wishes to take (up to three courses). For example, if they take two SUU courses, they must be registered for two Early College Release placeholders.

Registration for courses will be through the SUU website. Follow all SUU registration instructions.

• Reach out to your student's LAU counselor for the current SUU Concurrent Enrollment course list. You will need this list to determine which courses are available and what course number to select when registering for classes.
• See the SUU Registering for Classes video to help your student understand the SUU registration process.
• Work with an LAU school counselor to ensure SUU courses also meet LAU graduation requirements.

SUU makes every effort to provide students with their desired classes. Please register early so SUU can determine the course sections that are needed.
