Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent Enrollment Options

Concurrent Enrollment (CE) allows eligible high school students to take college-level courses while they are still enrolled in high school. You have the opportunity to earn both high school and college credit at the same time. Concurrent Enrollment courses may be offered at your high school, at a PPSC campus, or online, depending on the program and options available through your school or district. You should work with your high school counselor or designated CE contact to determine which option best fits your academic and career goals.

Career Start
Career Start is a Concurrent Enrollment option designed for students interested in Career and Technical Education (CTE) and career-focused programs. Students participate in structured, pathway-based programming and can earn college credit while developing skills related to a specific career field.

Students apply to Career Start through the appropriate process with their high school or district. Career Start students do not self-register for their Career Start courses. PPSC staff register students for the courses within their program.
Campus Pathways
Campus Pathways allows students to take PPSC college courses at their high school. Courses are taught by qualified instructors and typically follow the high school's calendar and schedule.

Students work with their high school to participate in Campus Pathways. Students do not self-register for Campus Pathways courses. The high school provides the appropriate student information or roster to PPSC, and PPSC staff complete registration.
General Concurrent Enrollment
Students may also take approved PPSC courses on a PPSC campus or online as part of Concurrent Enrollment. Students should work with their high school counselor or CE contact before registering to make sure the course is approved for sponsorship, fits their high school graduation requirements, and aligns with their academic goals.
