Does Your Student Want to Earn College Credit While in High School?

Students may take up to 15 concurrent enrollment credits per semester. Students must have approval from our academic counselor to take additional credits. We recommend taking a maximum of 2-3 CE courses per semester.

Students may take courses online or on campus. Parents must sign a waiver allowing the student to attend courses in person.

Williamsburg covers the cost of tuition for CE courses. Additional college fees, course fees, supplies, and college textbooks are not covered by Williamsburg.

Final Grades for CE courses are recorded on both college and high school transcripts. If a student does not successfully complete a college course or withdraws, the final grade of D, F, or W is recorded on both transcripts.

Note: A final grade of D often does not earn college credit. A college course can be repeated once if not successfully completed the first time.

For CE courses worth 3 to 5 college credits, students receive 1.0 high school credit (equaling two semesters of high school course credit).

For CE courses worth 0.5 to 2 college credits, students receive .5 high school credits (equaling one semester of high school course credit).

The first thing you’ll need to do is contact our Family Success Specialist to review your students eligibility, including grades and academic standing.

Review and submit the WAC Concurrent Enrollment form for Pikes Peak State College.

Create an account for your student at PPSC to get a Student ID (S#) and login. Then, submit the free online application. In the application you will need to select one of the pathways below as your student's preferred program of study:

• Liberal Arts Pathway
• STEM Pathway

Once you have submitted your student’s application, watch for an email inviting you to sign the application. You’ll need to sign and accept the terms outlined in their enrollment process.

Note: A PPSC Counselor will help select courses that fit your student’s desired program of study.

Students wishing to participate in our early college program must apply for the College Opportunity Fund. This allows us to pay for your student’s college tuition.

To be accepted and register for CE courses at PPSC, students must take the NextGen ACCUPLACER exam.

To learn more about this exam, see the PPSC website for placement options.

Students should take practice tests in preparation for the ACCUPLACER. Click the links for free test prep and practice resources.

Once your student’s application has been accepted, schedule a time to meet with the Pikes Peak team to select your student’s courses.

Once your student is registered for courses at PPSC, please send a detailed schedule to our Registrar for approval. For ease, the schedule may be copied directly from your student’s PPSC student portal.

Once we have reviewed your student’s CE courses, we will reach out to let you know if all courses have been approved or if any changes are needed.

When the semester ends, you will need to submit a PPSC transcript of all final grades to our Registrar. Once received, we will add the completed courses to your student’s Graduation Plan in SIS and award the appropriate credits earned toward high school graduation.
