Concurrent Enrollment at Pueblo Community College

Students may take up to 15 concurrent enrollment credits per semester. Students must have approval from our Director of Student & Parent Services 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.

Though Williamsburg does not cover the cost of books, PCC has a special grant that may cover the cost of books and fees. Check with your student’s PCC counselor to learn more!

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 Director of Student & Parent Services to review your student's eligibility, including grades and academic standing.

Review and submit the Williamsburg Pueblo Community College Concurrent Enrollment form.

First, you'll need to create an account for your student at PCC to get a student ID (S#) and login credentials.

Once you have your student’s S#, submit PCC's free online application.

Here's a couple of things to note about the application:

1. Students wishing to participate in concurrent enrollment in Colorado must apply for the College Opportunity Fund (COF). In the PCC application, you will be prompted to allow PCC to apply for COF for your student. Please accept. This allows Williamsburg to pay for your student’s college tuition.
   
   Parents who do not allow PCC to submit a COF application on behalf of their student will be responsible for paying tuition.
   
   
2. When selecting a program of study, please select "undeclared"  then work with a PCC enrollment specialist to choose the right pathway for your student.

Once you have submitted your student’s application, watch for an acceptance email or text explaining the next steps.

Have questions about the PCC application? Please email the PCC Concurrent Enrollment team at ce@pueblocc.edu.

With the help of a PCC enrollment specialist, your student will need to select one of the following pathways as their preferred program of study:

• Guaranteed Transfer Program (designed for students desiring to move on to a 4-year university)
• Career and Technical Education Pathway (CTE)

Career and Technical Education offerings vary by campus location. Here’s a brief overview of what’s available:

• Bayfield Campus: Agriculture and Certified Nursing Aide.
• Durango Campus: Agriculture, Computer Information Systems, Early Childhood Education, EMT, and Pre-Health.
• Mancos Campus: Agriculture, Automotive, Certified Nursing Aide, EMT, Law Enforcement, Nursing, Paramedic, and Welding.
• Pueblo Campus: This campus offers all CTE programs and the most extensive list of courses. Please talk with your PCC advisor to learn more.

Students must demonstrate college readiness to be accepted and permitted to register for CE courses at PCC. This is often achieved through ACCUPLACER placement exams. If you have any of the following items, you may not need to take the placement tests:  

• Previous college placements test scores (ACCUPLACER, CCPT)
• Previous college coursework/transcripts
• ACT/SAT Scores
• GED test scores
• Qualifying high school grades

Your PCC advisor will use the above information and/or results from your placement exams to determine which courses you should take.

If you would like to learn more, you can see the PCC website or reach out to the PCC Concurrent Enrollment team at ce@pueblocc.edu. 

Free test prep and practice resources are available for students who need to complete the ACCUPLACER.

Once your student’s application has been accepted, meet with their assigned PCC advisor to select courses. They will help you choose courses that fit your student's desired program of study.

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