Student Eligibility & Mixed Enrollments Additional Procedures You Need to Know

Student Eligibility High School Sophomores, Juniors & Seniors Only Sophomores – Top 10% of class AND have scored over the 90th % on a nationally standardized test (proof of eligibility must be sent to the College Now Office for sophomores) Juniors – Top 1/3 class rank and 3.0 cumulative GPA Seniors – Top 1/2 class rank and 3.0 cumulative GPA Nationally standardized test scores can replace class rank if needed – 50th percentile for seniors and 70th percentile for juniors. Students will still need to meet the 3.0 GPA requirement to go along with the test scores.

Verify Eligibility for Class Liaisons will be required to keep proof of eligibility on file. Annually, random high schools will be asked to provide proof False information = consequences for students (record removal, failure, etc.)

Mixed Enrollments: What are they? Have a “mix” of students registered for college and HS students not registered for college taking the same class in the same section. Discrete Enrollments: All students in a class section are enrolled with the college.

Why Do Mixed Enrollments Happen? Foreign exchange students are not eligible for college credit through concurrent enrollment, but they would still be able to take the course for high school credit. HS students who do not meet eligibility requirements for the college can still take the course for high school credit. HS does not have the staff or other resources to schedule two sections (a college section & a HS section) of the same course.

What are the Policies for Mixed Enrollments? Mixed enrolled courses must have the majority (51%) of the students enrolled with the university. Mixed enrolled courses should be kept to a minimum and every effort should be made to develop them into discrete courses.
