Concurrent Enrollment

Take college classes while still in high school

You’re ready for an academic challenge. You’re curious about the college experience. The Concurrent Enrollment program at CGCC is made for you. It gives you a head start on college by allowing you to take college-credit courses while still completing your high school education.

Through Concurrent Enrollment, you can take college courses with other college students in person, online, or in hybrid formats. You’ll get credit you can apply toward a 2-year and 4-year college degree, and you’ll get a good feel for what college life is like after high school graduation. Concurrent Enrollment is often leveraged by homeschooled students who do not participate in ACE, Hoop of Learning, or Dual Enrollment programs.

If you’re going to take Math or English courses, you’ll need to take our college placement tests before you register. If you are planning to take other academic courses (for example, Physics, History, Spanish), you can take a placement test, or meet one of the following:

  • Composite score of 93 or more on the PSAT
  • Composite score of 930 or more on the SAT
  • Composite score of 22 or more on the ACT
  • Passing score on the relevant portions of AIMS

If you’re taking vocational (Career and Technical Education) courses, you do not need to take placement tests.
