1. CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT

2. Advantages of Concurrent Enrollment
Students get a head start on their college education.
Concurrent Enrollment entices students not to choose early graduation.
Students who take college-level courses while in a high school adapt more easily to college curriculum.
Enrollment in Concurrent Enrollment Programs can reduce the students’ costs in tuition payment after they complete high school and enroll in a college or university.
Credit earned is posted as college credit on an official LLCC transcript.

3. And the disadvantages…
There is a heavier workload. High school students live busy lives and this is a big commitment.
Schedule changes – This is a commitment that is expected to be lived up to. Once students have started concurrent enrollment classes, they are expected to finish the class and not drop.
Credit earned is posted as college credit on an official LLCC transcript. Failing grades or withdraws could effect college admission and financial aid.

5. Guidelines
Courses are college-level courses and are of the same high quality, cover the same content, and have the same rigor as courses offered at the college’s main campus or regional locations.
Courses can be taken for college and high school credit.
Students must enroll as LLCC students.
Students will be subject to all LLCC placement, enrollment, grading, and records policies and procedures. All instructors of dual credit courses must meet Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) and LLCC qualifications.
Dual credit courses use LLCC textbooks and outlines (unless otherwise approved by an LLCC Dean).

6. Instructor Qualifications
Occupational courses require a Master’s Degree, Bachelor’s Degree, or provisional certification with 2,000 hours work experience in the area and appropriate trade/professional licensure as required for course delivery.
Transfer courses require a Master’s degree in the area or a Masters with 18 hours in the discipline.
Instructors will need to complete an adjunct instructor application and be approved to teach by the LLCC Department Dean.
The dual credit agreement is between the high school, the instructor, and LLCC.  The instructor identified in the agreement is critical to any dual credit course; therefore, any changes in the instructor may nullify the agreement.  Any extended absences (more than 2 weeks duration) without prior approval of a replacement during the scheduled course may nullify the agreement.  Due to the rigor and expectations of the course work, no student teachers will be allowed to instruct during this scheduled course.
Faculty will be required to complete college documentation (submit a course syllabus, verify registration rosters, verify attendance rosters, and submit final college course grades)
Deliver the course content identified in the ICCB approved college curriculum and defined student learning outcomes for each course.

7. Student Qualifications
High school students who are qualified to take college-level courses and meet the enrollment criteria are eligible to participate in the Concurrent Enrollment Programs.
Students taking dual enrollment courses will be subject to all LLCC placement, enrollment, grading, and records policies and procedures. A college transcript will be generated.
Students must be able to complete college level coursework.
Students must be high school juniors or seniors at the time the term begins.
Students wishing to withdraw from a class must notify their instructor to drop the class on or before the deadline (deadlines available on “Important Dates” webpage). A “W” for withdraw will appear on the students’ transcript. . A “W” on a college transcript may impact future federal college financial aid or participation in honor programs or scholarships. College earned GPA may be used as a decision criteria for awarding scholarships or determining acceptance into special college programs.
