Concurrent Enrollment at Rose State Published June 24, 2024

1The Rose State College Academic Outreach office specializes in concurrent enrollment. Enrollment in a concurrent course allows high school juniors and seniors to receive credit from both the high school and college for the successful completion of college courses. Students who are uncertain about their college major enroll in general education courses that include: English Comp 1, English Comp 2, U.S. History, and American Federal Government. Students who have identified their college major are able to select a degree program and start working toward degree completion. 

Rose State College and Mid-Del Public Schools formalized the partnership of the Jump Start Program in June 2023. The program provides funds to cover the cost of fees related to college courses for up to 4 credit hours a semester. All Mid-Del high schools participate in the program. 

Juniors receive up to 9 hours of tuition-waived credit hours, and seniors receive up to 18 tuition-waived credit hours for the school year. While in high school, students who maximize the 27 hours of tuition waiver have the 2+1 option, which is two years of concurrent enrollment, then transition to one full-time year at Rose State College before obtaining an Associate’s Degree. 

Concurrent v. Advanced Placement Courses (AP)?

“AP classes offer some insight into the advanced rigor, but concurrent is the real deal,” said Jan Bugby, former Senior Director of Academic Outreach. Credit for an AP test is only accredited if there is a passing score. However, the completion of a concurrent class with a passing grade will be placed on both high school and college transcripts, affecting both GPAs.
