Sign up for an appointment
 
 

Step #1: Please complete the following CHECKLIST EACH SEMESTER.  

Step #2:  Sign-up for a time to meet with your School Counselor, Michael Sardinia – Your counselor can share information about the Concurrent Enrollment Program that allows students who have exhausted high school course options to concurrently enroll in postsecondary courses. Your counselor will examine your ICAP to approve moving forward with postsecondary courses or other challenging courses that align with your plan.

STEP #3: Complete the Concurrent Enrollment Course Form to sign-up for a class.

**You must meet with your High School Counselor before completing this form to ensure course(s) chosen align with your Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP). If this has not been done, stop now and have that meeting. Note that you can start this form at any time, you just may not be able to complete it. You can save your progress for completion later. Once this form is completed you have conditional approval, but will need to wait for an email confirmation of full approval. Please register for the class, so that you have a spot, and you can always drop if the request is denied. You will need the course name and number as well as your college id#. 

A Note about Payment 
St. Vrain Valley Schools will pay the student share of tuition minus Colorado Opportunity Fund (COF). The District is not responsible for payment of any additional fees other than tuition. Additional fees owed to the college must be paid directly to the college and are the student’s responsibility. 

 

Please share this document that outlines information to consider while taking a college-level course with your parents or guardian. 

What is CE?
 
Concurrent Enrollment allows APEX juniors and seniors and highly qualified freshmen and sophomores to enroll in courses at Colorado public institutions of higher education. The intent of the program is two-fold: (1) to provide students with opportunities for additional academic challenge and rigor, and (2) to offer an alternative educational setting which may stimulate interest and motivation in learning. Tuition is paid by the student’s school district when the courses count toward high school graduation. Qualified public school students enrolled in the 9th -12th  grade who are not more than 21 years of age may participate. Students must demonstrate college readiness either by Community College Placement Test (CCPT) scores or ACT/SAT scores. Readiness for students in 9th and 10th grade will be evaluated based on multiple criteria including but not limited to test scores, transcript review, curriculum review, social/emotional readiness, teacher recommendation, and individual interview.


NOTE: Incoming freshman, sophomores, and juniors must be enrolled at APEX for one semester prior to being approved for participation in Concurrent Enrollment. This waiting period may be waived for incoming seniors at the discretion of the APEX Principal and high school counselor.
