Concurrent Enrollment at Pikes Peak State College
Go to website
Williamsburg Academy of Colorado partners with Pikes Peak State College to provide Concurrent Enrollment (CE) classes for qualified high school students.
Students who participate in our CE program receive both high school and college credits toward industry certificates, 2-year degrees, and 4-year universities—and we cover the tuition!
What are the Qualifications?
To be eligible for CE at Pikes Peak State College (PPSC), students must meet each of the following criteria:
- Be in grades 10-12 or have approval from a WAC Academic Counselor
- Be on track for high school graduation according to our Graduation Plan in Student Information Services (SIS).
- Have an 80% average grade at Williamsburg from the prior semester or have a 3.0 from their former school
The above criteria help ensure students who are placed in college courses are prepared and ready for this opportunity and challenge. We encourage and welcome students ready for college to join our concurrent enrollment program!
Please have a look at our FAQs on our Concurrent Enrollment page for additional guidelines.
Credits and Courses
Here are a few things to know about credits and courses:
-
How many CE credits can my student take?
Students may take up to 15 concurrent enrollment credits per semester. Students must have approval from a WAC Academic Counselor to take additional credits. We recommend taking a maximum of 2-3 CE courses per semester.
-
Are classes held on campus or online?
Students may take courses online or on campus. Parents must sign a waiver allowing the student to attend courses in person.
-
What costs are covered for each CE course?
Williamsburg covers the cost of tuition for CE courses. Additional college fees, course fees, supplies, and college textbooks are not covered by Williamsburg.
-
How are grades and credits awarded?
Final Grades for CE courses are recorded on both college and high school transcripts. If a student does not successfully complete a college course or withdraws, the final grade of D, F, or W is recorded on both transcripts.
Note: A final grade of D often does not earn college credit. A college course can be repeated once if not successfully completed the first time.
For CE courses worth 3 to 5 college credits, students receive 1.0 high school credit (equaling two semesters of high school course credit).
For CE courses worth 0.5 to 2 college credits, students receive .5 high school credits (equaling one semester of high school course credit).
