Concurrent Students
Complete the Online Application
Rose State College offers students the opportunity to gain a head start on college by earning college credit while still in high school. High school juniors and seniors who meet policy requirements can participate in concurrent enrollment. These concurrent programs help high school students meet high school requirements and can give them a competitive advantage when applying for scholarships and admission to four-year universities. Successful completion of college coursework demonstrates that students are capable of the academic rigor college demands.
Each high school senior who meets the eligibility requirements for concurrent enrollment shall be entitled to receive a tuition waiver equivalent to the amount of resident tuition for a maximum of 18 hours for the academic year. High school juniors who meet the eligibility requirements for concurrent enrollment are entitled to receive a tuition waiver equivalent to the amount of resident tuition for a maximum of 9 hours per academic year.
Students are responsible for the books and fees portion of payment.
Procedures for Concurrent Enrollment
- High school students wishing to concurrently enroll must complete the application for concurrent enrollment and have it signed by their parent(s) and either the high school counselor or the high school principal. The signed form confirms eligibility to satisfy the high school graduation requirements, including curricular requirements for college admission, by spring of the senior year.
- The student must bring all of the following completed forms/documents:
- Concurrent Form with the required signatures
- Concurrent Student Contract
- Immunization Verification Form
- Official report of ACT/SAT scores
- Official up-to-date high school transcript
- Rose State College Application for Admission
- The student must visit the Distance Learning Office at Rose State College with the required documentation listed above. A staff member will meet with the student to assess their eligibility for admission.
- A high school student admitted under the provision set forth above may enroll in a combined number of high school and college courses per semester not to exceed a full-time college workload of 19 semester-credit-hours. A student may enroll in a maximum of nine semester-credit-hours during a summer session or term at a college or university of the State System without the necessity of being concurrently enrolled in high school classes during the summer term. For the purpose of calculating workload, one-half high school unit shall be equivalent to three semester credit hours of college work. Students wishing to exceed these limits may petition Rose State College.
- Rose State College will adhere, where possible and allowed by policy, to the number of credit hours recommended by the designated high school official. Any questions the student may have regarding this policy will be referred to the high school.
- If a student withdraws or drops out of high school, official notification should be sent to Rose State College. A student is eligible for concurrent enrollment only while enrolled in high school; therefore, withdrawal from high school will automatically result in withdrawal from college. Official notification of drops or withdrawals from college courses will be sent to the high school.
- Rose State College will use summary grade reports for instructional research. This use does not violate the student’s right of privacy as covered in the Buckley Amendment.
- A summary grade report will be sent to the high school for students involved in this program at the end of each semester.
- A high school student concurrently enrolled in college courses may continue concurrent enrollment in subsequent semesters if she/he achieves a college retention grade-point average of 2.0 or above on a 4.0 scale. Following high school graduation, a student who has been concurrently enrolled as a high school student may be admitted to the original institution of concurrent enrollment or another institution in the State System if the student meets the entrance requirements of the receiving institution, including the high school curriculum requirements, and subject to the State Regents retention standards.
- While attending Rose State College, students have the rights and responsibilities outlined in the Student Handbook and the College Catalog, as designated for all College students.
Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment classes are college-level classes offered to high school students for both high school and college credit. Dual enrollment students are enrolled in classes at both the high school and the college. While students earn high school credit, they also earn college credit, thereby reducing the need for duplicate classes. Rose State College credits are recorded on a permanent college record and transcript. High schools are responsible for recording high school credits.
Course Offerings
Concurrent students have several options for taking courses. Students may attend courses offered on the Rose State College campus, online, or on the high school campus, as well as courses provided via Interactive Television (ITV). Concurrent students may not enroll in remedial (zero-level) coursework offered by Rose State College, which is designed to address high school deficiencies.
Rose State and Broken Arrow Public Schools
Rose State College and Broken Arrow Public Schools (BAPS) have established a partnership that allows high school students completing the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) curriculum to earn college credits at RSC. This collaboration aims to enhance educational opportunities and open new career pathways in aviation for students in Broken Arrow.
