Principals: Concurrent Enrollment Aint What it Used to Be…
 All UVU CE courses must be CTE, General Education, Prerequisite for a Major or GE, or Major
requirement.
 All UVU CE courses are reviewed annually by the CE department as well as the corresponding
department on campus. Course content and assessment must match or be equal to what is
delivered on campus.
 All CE courses are reviewed by local districts as well as by the Utah State Office of Education
every year.
 All CE instructors are considered adjunct faculty and must have the same credentials as those
teaching on campus.
 All CE instructors must receive department-specific training, department visits, professional
development, and CE training each year in order to be compliant.
 All CE students apply and are registered as UVU students. They must meet the same
prerequisites, must do the same work, and will generate an official transcript.
WHY Concurrent Enrollment? It can benefit families, schools, and communities!
