Concurrent Enrollment
What is ASCENT?
Accelerating Students through Concurrent Enrollment (ASCENT) is a fifth-year high school program that allows students to take concurrent enrollment courses at college/university the year after 12th grade. It is a free program paid for by the State of Colorado and Cherry Creek School District. ASCENT provides a unique opportunity for students to earn a postsecondary credential, helping students develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to be postsecondary and workforce ready.
Program Overview
What is Concurrent Enrollment (CE)?
It is the simultaneous enrollment of a student in both a high school and a higher education institution in one or more courses. Educators who are endorsed in both college and 6-12 institutions teach these tuition-free concurrent enrollment courses. Upon successful completion of a course, students will receive college-level credit and meet the high school graduation guidelines.
**Concurrent Enrollment college credit is subject to course and teacher approval and completion of all required registration steps within the designated semester deadline. Courses are subject to cancellation for Concurrent Enrollment college credit due to unforeseen circumstances. Prerequisites to courses may change at any time.
Applying for credit - Each course is different. Talk to your teacher or check your class Schoology page for application information.
