DPS Concurrent Enrollment form 2011
Promise to Repay Contract

Students are able to take college level courses to count both for college and high school credit through the DPS Concurrent Enrollment Program.  DPS will reimburse a student for classes taken through Concurrent Enrollment up to the community college rate.  This reimbursement amount is determined by charles_dukes@dpsk12.org  An example of Concurrent Enrollment would be taking a college level math course and having it also count for a year of high school math.

To be eligible, students must
*  Be deemed college ready by their school counselor or principal by placing at appropriate accuplacer lever
*  Be grade 10 or above
*  Accuplacer levels or scoring high enough on the ACT or SAT to waive the Accuplacer requirement.  The “Accuplacer” is the name of the entrance exam for community colleges. Students must, on their own time, go to the admissions offices at the community college they wish to take classes at and take this exam, prior to enrolling in any Concurrent Enrollment courses.

Students may take up to:
*  10th grade: 6 college credit hours per year
*  11th grade: 12 college credit hours per year
*  12th grade: 12 college credit hours per year
(most college courses are 3 credit hours per semester)

Enrollment:
*  Students should contact Kathey_Thompson@dpsk12.org if they are interested in Concurrent Enrollment.
*  Students should enroll 60 days prior to the start of the semester they will take the class in.
*  Students must enroll in guaranteed transfer courses unless they and their parents sign a waiver.  Students can obtain a list of guaranteed transfer courses from Kathey Thompson.
